Many new and established businesses' most valuable assets are their trade secrets, patents, copyrights and trademarks. At Campbell Harrison & Dagley L.L.P., we represent plaintiffs in cases to establish and enforce these intellectual property rights, and defendants against whom claims of trade secret misappropriation or breach of confidential relationships are asserted. We have represented our clients in intellectual property disputes in a wide range of industries, including oil and gas technology, computer software, and the fashion industry.
Trade secret misappropriation and other intellectual property cases we have handled for our clients include:
-
Representation of a Fortune 500 company in the defense of a competitor’s allegations of misappropriation of computer software trade secrets relating to automobile dealership management systems. Our client obtained a take-nothing judgment on all of the plaintiff’s claims following a three-week arbitration hearing. The judgment was affirmed on appeal.
-
Representation of the developers of a California oil and gas prospect in a lawsuit against their joint venture partner for misappropriation of the prospect idea and self-dealing in the marketing of the prospect. A confidential settlement of the claims was reached during the trial of the case.
-
Successful defense of three former employees of a Fortune 500 oil and gas services company against claims alleging misappropriation of trade secrets relating to oil field directional drilling equipment. A limited arbitration award against the former employees was vacated by the federal district court.
