YOUR COMPETITORS WOULD PAY A LOT TO KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW. MAKE SURE THEY CAN'T GET IT.
Trade secrets are often worth more than patents — but only if you've taken the legal steps to protect them before someone walks out the door with them.
Trade secret litigation costs $25,000–$200,000+. Prevention costs a fraction of that.
A trade secret can be a formula, a customer list, a manufacturing process, or a business strategy — anything that gives you a competitive advantage because it's kept confidential.
But trade secret protection only applies if you've taken reasonable steps to protect the information.
Without NDAs, access controls, and proper legal documentation, courts may not recognize your information as a protected trade secret at all.
A Legal plan gives you access to a licensed attorney at a fraction of traditional law firm costs.
Trade secret law protects confidential business information that has economic value because it's not publicly known. Unlike patents, trade secret protection has no expiration — but it requires ongoing effort to maintain. The moment you stop taking reasonable steps to keep the information confidential, you may lose your legal protection entirely.
A legal plan connects you with a provider attorney who can advise on what qualifies as a trade secret, help you implement the legal measures required to protect it, and guide you through enforcement or defense if your trade secrets are ever misappropriated.

Real business owners. Real trade secret protection results.
When a senior sales rep gave notice, we discovered she had downloaded our entire client database. Because my provider attorney had helped us implement an employee departure protocol and she had signed a proper NDA, we had clear legal grounds to send a cease and desist letter the same day. She returned the data and the situation was resolved without litigation.
A competitor launched a product that was clearly based on our manufacturing process. My provider attorney helped me assess whether we had taken adequate steps to establish trade secret protection — and we had. We sent a cease and desist backed by solid documentation and the competitor was forced to modify their process.
I realized we had been giving contractors access to our proprietary systems without having them sign NDAs. My provider attorney reviewed our situation, identified the gaps, and helped us implement a proper NDA program for all contractors and vendors. We also updated our employee agreements to include more specific confidentiality provisions.
I was about to file a patent application for a manufacturing process when my provider attorney pointed out that publishing the process in a patent application would make it publicly available — eliminating trade secret protection. She helped me evaluate whether the process was better protected as a trade secret. We chose trade secret protection and our competitors still don't know how we do it.
