Most information of companies is actually not patented or trademarked. Instead, the information exists in a form of intellectual property called trade secrets. To maintain information as a trade secret, you will need to take steps to insure the secrecy of the information. There are various ways to do this. One instrument which I discuss in my book, "Protect Your Patent" is through the use of confidentiality agreements. Other measures that you can take are security measures such as restricted computer access to information that you want to protect from being divulged to competitors. |
