Intellectual property litigation often involves a number of related issues. A single lawsuit can include some or all of patent, trademark, copyright, unfair competition, trade secrets theft, and licensing matters in any combination.
It is also common to find business disputes that initially appear to have no intellectual property component ultimately require litigation to resolve patent, trademark, or copyright matters before a resolution of the entire dispute can be achieved.

Technology and the Trade Secrets Act
When a researcher invents a product or develops an innovative process in the workplace, typically those rights must be assigned to the company employer. But a company may not be able to obtain a patent on a particular innovation, or it may choose instead of trying for a patent to be protected by trade secrets law, which requires that the company take extra steps to keep the product or process confidential and actually a “secret”. Hankin Patent Law advises its clients on how best to do so, and what additional precautions to implement to ensure that competitors, vendors, and employees do not walk out the door with the company’s most valuable secrets.
