National Trade Secret Lawyers 

Protecting Trade Secrets in Colorado Springs and Across the U.S.

Every business protects key information that contributes to its success and distinguishes it from competitors. In the context of business law, these are called trade secrets. 

Trade secrets vary depending on the industry, but some examples include: 

  • Software code
  • Financial account records
  • Formulas
  • Data strategies
  • Computer algorithms 
  • Inventions and products awaiting patents

With contemporary technology, it’s now easier than ever for confidential information to be exposed. The trade secret attorneys at Martensen IP each have over 20 years of experience helping clients secure their intellectual property and advantages in the marketplace. We can assist you in creating documents and establishing procedures that keep the valuable information driving your success confidential.

Protecting Trade Secrets

Information is never secure on its own. To qualify as legally protected “trade secrets,” certain procedures and rules must be instituted and followed at your business. This includes things like nondisclosure agreements (NDAs), confidentiality contracts, non-compete agreements, policies for handling confidential information, and more. 

Without such a framework, a court will often refuse to legally protect the information you sought to keep confidential. If this is the case, your trade secrets could be shared, diminishing your business’ competitive edge. 

Martensen IP understands the critical role trade secrets play in business valuation. Value directly relates to a company’s ability to capture, maximize, and secure its advantages over its competition. Trade secret protections support these advantages by ensuring other businesses cannot capitalize on the valuable codes, algorithms, formulas, marketing strategies, or other commercial solutions that drive your business’ success.
