Criminal Defense
Fraud
Of Title 15 of the United States Code). State laws involving unfair competition, consumer fraud and state registered trademarks may also apply. The basic goal of the Lanham Act, stated in its legislative history, is “the protection of trademarks, securing to the owner the good will of his business and protecting the public against spurious and falsely marked goods.”
Theft

Business and Corporate Law

Trade Secrets
Generally, one cannot obtain trade secret protection for information generally known or understood within an industry even if not to the public at large. However, what is generally known is a question of fact and is not usually a cut and dry answer. For example, suppose you reveal what you consider to be a trade secret to a person after that person agrees to keep it confidential. Further suppose your trade secret is an elaboration based on published information that had never before been utilized in the industry. Then, that person says “Eureka” and proceeds to use your trade secret to great economic advantage to him. You tell him “trade secret.” He says “public information.” So who wins? It is not a cut and dry answer.
Intellectual Property
FIRST TYPE: A provisional application based on filing the applicant’s write-up (with no substantive amendment by the attorney) is relatively inexpensive. The overall cost ranges from $1,250 to $1,700, depending on the inventor’s or applicant’s filing status. Within these amounts the attorney fee for a micro-entity and a small entity is $1,100; and the attorney fee for a large entity is $1400. Government filing fees are $60, $120, and $300 for a micro-entity, a small entity, and a large entity, respectively. The American Intellectual Property Law Association 2017 Report of the Economic Survey reports that the median charge for a provisional application is in a range of $4,000 to $4,500.
Unfair Competition
Trademark infringement is commonly understood to include the concept of unfair competition. Thus, trademark infringement usually occurs when there is a false designation of origin, false description of a product or service, trade dress copying, or trademark dilution of famous marks. When any of these actions occur, the consumer is likely to be confused and consumer confusion is an important component of trademark infringement.

Employment Contract
No Employee Agreement? Not every employee will have an employment agreement. Many will be “at will” employees, meaning they can be fired at any time by the employer with or without cause. So, it is a good idea that whether or not a written agreement is in place, the employee should be told of his obligations with respect to the employer’s intellectual property. It is also a good practice to have a written set of internal policies or guidelines on these matters. Early communication will help avoid misunderstandings, hard feelings, and possibly litigation.
Employment Litigation
Most employers will not be surprised to learn that questions will eventually arise as to the obligations of employees and employers regarding protection of company trade secrets
Non-compete Agreement
However, some states, such as California and Georgia, have enacted a policy severely restricting non-compete agreements, particularly those outside the context of protecting trade secrets. This trend continues in an August 30, 2006 decision by the California 2nd District Court of Appeal, which held that California statutory law prevents companies from making employees sign non-competition contracts promising not to work for a competitor, unless they fall within the statutory or trade secret exceptions.
