Understanding and Navigating Trade Secret Protection Laws

Dickinson Wright is one of the region’s premier law firms, offering more than 40 practice areas through our staff of 240-plus client-oriented, diligent, and professionally respected attorneys. Backed by more than 130 years of tradition of diversity, excellence, and sharp legal acumen, Dickinson Wright provides some of the best legal solutions from either our Michigan or Washington, D.C. offices. One discipline in which Dickinson Wright stands at the industry forefront is intellectual property, especially from our “IP Academy,” where currently practicing attorneys train students with technical and engineering backgrounds to be intellectual property lawyers.

A sub-discipline that requires particular expertise is trade secret protection. Trade secret protection laws exist fundamentally at a state level, leaving a vacuum of uniform federal protection. To help navigate all the variations state by state (even despite the Uniform Trade Secrets Act or UTSA) requires particular expertise in order to help preserve the sanctity of the trade secret and thus the economic viability. In both Michigan and Washington, Dickinson Wright staffs attorneys with expert knowledge in the area of trade secret protection, especially at the state law level. Some specialists include:
