San Antonio Trade Secrets Protection Attorneys

San Antonio business leaders know their leading position in their market is not just because of their friendly and outgoing nature, but by developing information, procedures, or processes that gave them an advantage over their competitors. Texas joined the majority of states adopting the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, which protects information and processes developed and kept by a company to give it a “leg up” on the competition. This differential advantage helps determine which businesses succeed, and which businesses may fail. If business people and companies keep such information confidential, then they may seek to enjoin (stopping activity by court order) a former key employee, manager, or business partner from using that valuable trade secret for him or herself, as a competitor, or take it to a business rival. Typically, information such as customer lists, contract pricing information, procedures, and financial information/space profit margins are critical to reverse engineer the success of a business. If this information becomes readily available to competitors or others in the company, it may risk a business’ leadership position in the marketplace. While the Alamo City is always friendly and inviting, it’s business leaders are careful to protect what they have built.
