Unfair Competition Law
Businesses are often faced with situations involving or alleging misappropriation of trade secrets or other confidential information, fraud, infringement of intellectual property rights or some other form of harm through unfair competitive practices. KMKSC offers its litigation and transaction skills to assist clients in avoiding unfair practices, or to determine if they have been subjected to such practices.
In such cases, the damage may be critical and immediate. The highly experienced litigators of KMKSC are able to file for immediate injunctive relief and aggressively move to minimize the damage done. For those accused of such practices, injuries can be equally severe. Unless defensive action is aggressive and immediate, injunctions may curtail business operations without merit. The company’s reputation with present and prospective customers, partners and suppliers can be severely damaged.
Much of the traditional unfair competition law is now covered by trade secrets and intellectual property rights. KMKSC offers services to protect intellectual property directly and, in the case of patents, in conjunction with selected specialized co-counsel. KMKSC can also apply its expertise to protect the confidentiality of information through contractual and other legal and procedural means.
