Businesses work rigorously to protect their intellectual property in today’s highly competitive global marketplace. Whether it is an ingredient or formula, source code or device, commercial relationship, strategic method or process, protecting it from misuse by competitors and former employees is critical. We are committed to helping safeguard a client’s valuable business assets. Kilgore & Kilgore also assists individuals and companies with patent infringement, copyright infringement, trademark protection and litigating licensing matters.

Handling Trade Secret Litigation

In addition to handling employee rights and employment-related concerns, our trade secret attorneys provide leverage to businesses and people involved in buy-out or separation disputes. When employees misappropriate trade secrets, we can put an immediate halt to unauthorized use through a preliminary injunction, demonstrating a substantial threat of irreparable harm, providing an improved likelihood of success in subsequent trade secret litigation. Matters often end there. Whether clients choose to pursue damages depends on their business objectives and other factors.

A Global Reach

We serve clients throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. A few examples include the following:

• Defended a Chinese business against a trademark infringement lawsuit in Dallas.
• Represented a Hong Kong investor in its claims to a fashion industry trademark and trade name.
• Defended an Italian design company’s copyright protecting a line of jewelry in a copyright infringement matter.
