Get the Trade Secret Protections Your Business Needs
You worked hard and spent considerable resources to develop trade secrets that will give you a competitive advantage in the marketplace. You know how important it is to protect your intellectual property, but laws regarding infringement and misappropriation of trade dress and trade secrets keep changing. Competitors are getting more sophisticated and judges are unpredictable with their decisions. Turn to an experienced Houston intellectual property attorney for sound legal advice about protecting your most valuable asset.
Kerr, Hendershot & Cannon is recognized as one of the leading intellectual property litigation firms in South Texas. Talk to us about ways we can help you avoid disputes with your competitors over trade secret theft and misappropriation. Our team of Houston intellectual property lawyers have extensive experience in all areas of litigation and protections, including:
- Trademark search: Avoid litigation by ensuring your intellectual property is not already under trademark protections in the market.
- Trademark registration: Officially register your trademark, copyrights and other trade secrets.
- Trademark maintenance: Proper use of your trademark or trade name throughout your marketing and product or service life.
- Trade dress infringement: Injunctive and punitive lawsuits against companies or individuals infringing upon your trademark or misappropriating your trade secrets for their own gains.
- Noncompete and noncompetition agreements: When drafted properly, noncompete agreements protect the employer as well as the employee. The right language in the contract — and that is exactly what it is — can ensure that both parties are clear on what is expected of them during the period of employment and after the employment relationship has been terminated.
- Ownership of intellectual property following the dissolution of a business: Litigation to determine the rightful ownership of trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property following the breakup of a business partnership.
We represent plaintiffs and defendants in all trade secret litigation. Whether defending or pursuing judgments, temporary restraining orders, temporary injunctions, permanent injunctions, or enforcement of a judgment or order, our attorneys have the skill and experience to assist our commercial clients in seeking any and all remedies available to them.
