Trade Secret IP Protection & Litigation Boston 2024

Why Trade Secret IP Should Be Part Of Your Toolbox

Unlike patents, trade secret does not require a formal filing process, creating cost efficiency.
As long as your trade secrets meet the criteria of secrecy, trade secrets provide a longer period of protection compared to patents and copyrights, generating longer protection period.
Trade secrets allow businesses to protect innovations that might not qualify for other IP forms proving a greater degree of flexibility and privacy.
