Modern companies all rely on intellectual property of some form, but their rights to their ideas and methodologies aren’t guaranteed. Other corporations, ex-employees and other parties may decide to take these trade secrets for themselves and profit. Although firms generally retain the ability to pursue action against those who violate the sanctity of their IP, they must follow the proper avenues to take full advantage of their lawful options. The lawyers at Oregon-based Chenoweth Law Group PC understand how important it is to safeguard the trade secrets your business revolves around, so we work hard to help you build and enforce legal protections.
Trade secret litigation isn’t just for pursuing competitors who steal patents, violate trademarks or otherwise damage your brand.
