Protect the information that gives your business an edge.
Some of the most valuable business assets derive their value precisely because they remain confidential — formulas, processes, algorithms and strategic know-how.
REF. IP/10
Value that comes from staying confidential.
A trade secret is confidential business information that derives independent economic value from not being generally known, and is subject to reasonable measures to maintain its secrecy. Unlike patents, trademarks and designs, trade secrets are not registered — protection depends entirely on maintaining confidentiality.
A trade secret remains protected for as long as it remains secret, potentially indefinitely.
Patent Protection
- Requires public disclosure
- Statutory, time-limited exclusivity
- Government registration required
Trade Secret Protection
- No public disclosure required
- Potentially unlimited duration
- No registration process
