Employees often gain insight into their employer's trade secrets, or help develop the employer's intellectual property rights. As an employer, it is important to know your rights and protect your assets as much as possible.
To reduce the risk of employees abusing their employer's trade secrets, or of doubts arising as to who has the rights to the intellectual property developed by an employee upon the termination of employment, it is extremely important for the employer to specify the applicable rules in the employment contract.
We have extensive experience in providing advice on such issues and of taking the necessary and relevant legal action where rights are infringed by employees.
