Dedicated Attorneys Working To Protect Your Trade Secrets

A company’s trade secrets are among its most important assets. Without them, everything that differentiates the company from its competitors is lost. Trade secrets are protected under state and federal unfair competition laws, and owners have the right to take any necessary steps in an effort to keep them private.

There can be many instances, however, where it may be necessary to divulge proprietary information about your company’s product formulas, ingredients, recipes, processes and other information. Obtaining Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, contracting with a food manufacturing facility to produce your product and other interactions can all involve the dissemination of sensitive information.

Many companies struggle with how to protect their trade secrets in their dealings with government agencies and third parties. The assistance of a qualified attorney can be extremely helpful. At the law firm of Eric F. Greenberg, P.C., our business law attorneys help clients address a variety of trade secret protection concerns.

The Long Reach of FDA Accusations

The Long Reach of FDA Accusations

The Long Reach of FDA Accusations

For those of you who think that regulators only pick on the small companies, have I got a story for you. And this story is also eye-opening if you have wondered who the government is most likely to go after when a problem arises, in a world of complicated chains of commerce involving multiple actors making and moving and bringing packaged products to market.

The short version of the story is that the Food and Drug Administration took action against Amazon for products sold on its website. Yes, that Amazon, the one with the big website where you can buy essentially everything for handy delivery. And this wasn’t the first time FDA has warned Amazon about products available on its popular website.
