Building a trade secret protection programme
Trade secrets cannot be registered: the right exists only while you can show you applied the necessary protection measures. This service builds exactly that evidence.
In a dispute the first question is what you did to keep the information secret — the inventory of confidential information, NDAs, access controls, and the leaver process. Without that record the information no longer qualifies as a trade secret.
