In Florida, identification of a trade secret and enforcement regarding the misappropriation of the same is regulated by Chapter 688 of the Florida Statutes. A trade secret is any information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process that:

(1) derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known or not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use and

(2) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. Examples of trade secrets are a chemical formula, a manufacturing process, a “magic-type” secret (such as techniques used to produce laser light shows and fireworks), and a recipe. Because these types of information and know-how go to the very heart of a business’s competitive position, businesses expend a great deal of time, energy, and money to guard their trade secrets.

For many companies today, one their most valuable assets is their intellectual property (IP). Sometimes, however, a company or person is not able, or does not qualify, for governmental protections, such as a U.S.patent or a federal trademark. As such, those owners of IP must take appropriate steps to protect the value of this asset as they would any physical asset, yet must also utilize it to its full potential.

The Concept Law Group provides sound, cost-effective advice to our clients in protecting their IP without necessarily having those governmental protections in place. We can assist with drafting and enforcing non-disclosure agreements (confidentiality agreements), distribution agreements, licensing agreements, covenants-not-to-compete (non-competition agreements), consulting and professional services agreements, Internet and web site agreements, outsourcing agreements, and assignment agreements.
