Trade Secrets

Safeguarding your confidential business information.

Trade Secret Protection Counsel

What is trade secret law? A trade secret is any information — including formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, or processes — that derives independent economic value from not being generally known and is subject to reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy. Under the California Uniform Trade Secrets Act (CUTSA) and the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA), businesses can protect confidential information from misappropriation by former employees, competitors, and business partners. Sasha Brodsky advises businesses in Santa Cruz County and throughout California on trade secret identification, protection strategies, non-disclosure agreements, and enforcement through litigation.

Trade secrets encompass formulas, processes, designs, instruments, patterns, or compilations of information that provide a business advantage over competitors who do not know or use it. Sasha provides counsel on trade secret protection, enforcement, and litigation.

Trade secret protection is part of Brodsky Law's broader Intellectual Property practice, encompassing trademarks, copyrights, and patent-related counsel. Contact Brodsky Law to discuss protecting your trade secrets.
