Why You Need a Trade Secrets Attorney To Protect You

Trade secrets are the silent drivers of innovation. We work with companies throughout Irvine and beyond to protect:

• Proprietary manufacturing methods used in clean tech and advanced materials
• Software source code and AI algorithms
• Product development plans and internal R&D timelines
• Customer databases, pricing models, and bidding strategies

We understand how companies especially in biotech, semiconductor, and enterprise SaaS store critical knowledge that never gets patented or disclosed. We help you keep it that way.

Why Trade Secret Strategy Is More Than Legal Protection

Trade secret protection isn’t just about having strong contracts. It’s about creating a company culture of confidentiality, clarity, and control. Your most valuable assets often live in shared drives, undocumented practices, or even employee intuition. We help you define those assets, build walls around them, and act swiftly when they’re at risk.

From startup incubators near Harvard Avenue to global operations based along Barranca Parkway, we empower Irvine businesses to secure what can’t be seen but can easily be stolen.
