Trade Secrets
A company's confidential information is oftentimes its most valuable asset. Maintaining and aggressively protecting that confidentiality is critical. NB helps its business clients maintain their trade secret information through a comprehensive approach to confidentiality, including vendor and supplier Non-Disclosure Agreements, employee confidentiality agreements, and implementation of secrecy safeguards.
NB has prosecuted and defended numerous trade secret claims in both state and federal court. On the prosecution side, NB has litigated several "misappropriation of trade secret" cases, including a notably successful case against a large electronic component manufacturer. On the defense side, NB recently represented two clients who left a company to work for a start-up competitor. NB successfully defended its clients, obtaining a favorable court ruling, and ultimately negotiated a dismissal of the former employer's claim.
