Trade secrets are strategic assets comprising confidential information essential to an organization’s competitive advantage. These may include data, processes, formulas, methods, and business plans. Unlike other IP rights, the protection of these assets does not depend on formal registration but rather on the implementation of robust internal measures and clearly defined confidentiality policies.

Álvaro Duarte & Associados provides comprehensive support throughout the entire trade secret protection process. Our service includes assessing whether the information meets the legal requirements to qualify as a trade secret, and developing tailored strategies to ensure confidentiality is maintained. This involves drafting non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), establishing security protocols and providing legal assistance in case of breaches or unauthorized disclosures.
