Entralta understands that protecting confidential business and technical information is critical to the success and competitive advantage of any business. In addition, we recognize the interplay between patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret protection, and appreciate the need to balance the advantages and disadvantages of seeking each type of protection.

​

Entralta handles all aspects of trade secret protection and we can work closely with you to maximize the protection of all valuable, competitively sensitive information and avoid the pitfalls of an inadvertent loss or intentional misappropriation of such trade secret information. Our attorneys can design practical solutions that identify information providing a competitive advantage, implement internal safeguards to protect trade secrets and other confidential information, shield proprietary information and know-how through agreements, defend you against allegations of trade secret theft, and police and confront the unauthorized transfer of your trade secrets.
