Protecting Trade Secrets
When people think of intellectual property, they typically think of patents, trademarks, and copyrights. But trade secrets are a fourth type of intellectual property that is extremely important to businesses. Trade secrets include proprietary information that is maintained in secrecy in order to give you or your company an economic advantage over competitors. Trade secrets can take many forms, including:
• Formulae • Patterns • Complications |
• Programs • Devices • Methods |
• Techniques • Processes • Business Plans |
• Marketing Plans • Software |
