Trade secret law is notoriously difficult and fact-dependent. Successful representation requires a developed understanding of a company’s business and business model, and an understanding of how an entity’s trade secrets differentiate it from its competitors. Pursuing or defending against a misappropriation claim also often involves a deep dive into the procedures the owner has to protect the secrecy of its trade secrets, including non-disclosure agreements and cybersecurity measures. The lawyers at Kohner, Mann & Kailas, S.C.  support clients by helping them to secure value quickly from intellectual assets (in both negotiating and documenting agreements), enforcing those agreements and prosecuting violations of trade secret law in the event of improper disclosure or use.

Trade secrets are part of the intellectual property of a business or organization, and the scope of Wisconsin trade secrets law focuses on proprietary information. Such information is owned by a company and gives the company certain competitive advantages. Proprietary information assets are critical to the success of many, perhaps most businesses. The importance of this property, while too often not yet “formally valued” by many companies, is highly valuable. In today’s highly competitive global marketplace, it is recognized by many managers that the intellectual assets of the business are highly sought-after commodities.

Company policies may prohibit directors, employees, and agents from disclosing or using confidential or proprietary information outside the company or for personal gain, either during or after employment, without proper written company authorization to do so. Many Milwaukee companies reduce the risk of proprietary information and intellectual property loss by employing “need to know policies; using screen savers and/or server passwords and maintaining non-disclosure agreements.”

A Milwaukee trade secrets lawyer is professional and knowledgeable in understanding the details, facts, complications, and circumstances that arise in a Milwaukee trade secret case.
