Stolen Company IP Litigation
When a business suspects its proprietary information was taken—source code, customer lists, pricing, designs, product roadmaps, internal tools—litigation may be necessary to stop further misuse and recover losses. We represent companies in stolen-IP disputes, especially where fast action is needed to preserve evidence and prevent dissemination.
These cases often involve overlapping legal theories: trade secret misappropriation, breach of confidentiality or invention assignment agreements, duty-of-loyalty issues, and unfair competition. We help clients build a case around specifics (what information, when accessed, how used) and pursue remedies that match the business need—injunctive relief, return/destruction orders, damages, and negotiated settlements when appropriate.
Use the chatbot to understand stolen-IP case elements and early litigation steps
If you’re still evaluating next steps, try our custom (experimental) RAG chatbot for general educational information about stolen company IP litigation—such as what qualifies as a trade secret, common evidence sources (devices, logs, cloud accounts), preservation considerations, and typical remedies and timelines in Washington and federal courts. The chatbot provides general information only and does not offer case-specific legal advice.
