Trade Secrets
What do the Colonel's recipe and the formula for Coca-cola have in common? Both are trade secrets which are not formally registered forms of intellectual property, but have remained a tightly guarded secret for generations. Such forms of intellectual property, although unregistered, are as valuable, if not more valuable, than traditional forms of registered intellectual property.

Our trade secret services include:
- Preparing confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements
