Trade Secrets Accomplishments

Enforced Covenant Not to Compete

Successfully enforced Wilson’s Covenant Not to Compete and Confidentiality Agreement against a departing senior Wilson technology manager who possessed critical golf ball trade secrets. A Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) was obtained in eight days, preventing the employee from joining our foremost competitor, Titleist. A Permanent Injunction and Judgment were issued one month later. We prevented significant, inevitable financial losses and the transfer of critical technology information to our most important competitor.

Created Trade Secret Program

The client developed proprietary software program offered through internet and mobile devices. The company also fielded many inquiries from investors and potential alliance partners about company. We recommended that the company invest in a process to disclose their valuable proprietary information.

We informed the client that if they did not use reasonable processes to protect their information that the Courts may order that the information cannot be protected against misuse by third parties.

We created a Trade Secrets Policy which is instructions to the employees as to the circumstances under which exchange of confidential information can occur.
