Protection of Intellectual Property Including Trade Secrets

As intellectual property including trade secrets owned by a business becomes more valuable and data including trade secrets continue to become easier to steal through technology, it is increasingly important for businesses to protect their intellectual property as well as to make an example of officers, business partners, independent contractors, and employees that steal intellectual property.  To protect a business's intellectual property, it is a good idea to identify and inventory your trade secrets and other valuable intellectual property.  It is also important to evaluate and review your protections and security policies that are in place to maintain the confidentiality of your secrets and other intellectual property.  These protections often include employment and confidentiality agreements which should be review periodically and updated.  It is also important to maintain proper data protection and security protocols to help prevent hacking or other security breaches.  Though these issues can appear tedious, it is often best to prevent a theft of intellectual property rather than try to contain and lock down the intellectual property after it is stolen.    

Texas Theft of Trade Secrets Lawsuits and Texas Breach of Fiduciary Duty Lawsuits

Officers and employees that wrongfully steal intellectual property including theft of trade secrets, customer lists, patents, and copyrights can often be held liable by Texas courts for breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, fraud, and other business torts.  There are also new federal laws that allow federal actions for theft of trade secrets against those that misappropriate trade secrets.  It is important to understand potential venue options when reviewing potential trade secret litigation, especially, when damages are significant.  For more information on this issue, please go to the following web pages: Texas Trade Secret Theft and Business Litigation Lawyer: Corporate Espionage and Theft of Intellectual Property, Texas Business Litigation Lawyer, and Texas Business Tort Lawsuits.

Texas Wealth, Probate, and Inheritance Lawyer Helps Families Protect Wealth and Transfer Texas Real Property and Businesses

Texas Wealth, Probate, and Inheritance Lawyer Helps Families Protect Wealth and Transfer Texas Real Property and Businesses by Texas Wealth, Probate, and Inheritance Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

After a family member dies, the real property, businesses, and other wealth that they owned can often become stuck during the probate process and if proper action is not taken the wealth can be lost or stolen.  Loss of inheritance is especially common when a family member suffers from senility and/or is extremely secretive about their finances before their death and has not left a Will or any instructions as to what they want done with their Texas wealth after they die.

Texas Contingent Inheritance Lawyer and Texas Contingent Inheritance Lawsuits

In some situations family assets cannot get transferred or collected by their rightful heirs or beneficiaries because the heirs and beneficiaries cannot afford the cost of probate and other transfer costs. In these situations, a Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer or Texas Contingent Death Benefit Lawyer that works on a percentage of the estate property can help heirs and beneficiaries transfer estate property to rightful heirs and beneficiaries.

In these situations, the Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer or Texas Contingent Death Benefit Lawyer will typically need to see that there are actual significant assets in the estate and who the rightful heirs and beneficiaries are of the estate. In these cases, bank statements, life insurance policies, royalty statements, mutual fund statements, retirement fund statements, real property deeds, property tax information, and other evidence of the estate assets can be useful in determining the approximate value of the estate and if a contingent contract for probating the estate can be viable.  For more information on a Texas Contingent Probate Lawsuit or Texas Contingent Non-Probate Matter, please feel free to go to the follow web page:  Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer and Death Benefit Collection Lawyer.

Over $200 Billion in Wealth is Passed Through Probate and Inheritance Each Year

Inheritance is the practice of passing on wealth or obligations upon the death of an individual.  This allows parents to pass on real estate, mineral interests, royalty rights, land, buildings, houses, businesses, stocks, jewelry, and other wealth to their children and people that they love.  It is estimated that in the United States over $200 Billion each year passed down through inheritance to heirs and beneficiaries.  Through Wills and intestate laws, Texas courts determine who are proper heirs and beneficiaries and allow tremendous amounts of wealth to be inherited each year.  The amount of wealth including real estate, mineral interests, royalty rights, land, buildings, houses, businesses, stocks, jewelry, life insurance, bonds, and gold that will be passed through inheritance is expected to continue to increase in the next 20 years as Trillions of Dollars in wealth is passed on through inheritance. 

A Significant Amount of Wealth is Lost or Stolen

Unfortunately, a good portion of this wealth will be lost or stolen as rightful heirs, lawful will beneficiaries, and rightful trust beneficiaries are unable to locate or claim family wealth or even worse vultures or corporations steal family wealth.  To help prevent lost or stolen wealth, it is important to keep records and an inventory of all family wealth including real estate, mineral interests, royalty rights, land, buildings, houses, businesses, stocks, jewelry, life insurance, bonds, and gold.  It is also important to make sure that this information can be recovered by loved ones in case of an unexpected death or incapacity.

International Bribe Lawyer Helps Expose Large International Bribery Schemes and Helps Whistleblowers Collect Rewards by Texas International Bribe Lawyer

International Bribe Lawyer Helps Clients Around The World and Works with Other International Lawyers Throughout the World Expose Large International Bribery Schemes and Collect Rewards for Exposing International Corruption by Texas International Bribe Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Over the past decade many countries around the World have enacted anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws that prevent multinational corporations and other powerful interests from bribing government officials to obtain government contracts and for other government benefits.  These laws have helped expose several billion dollars in corruption and have forced several large corporations to pay billions for their corrupt practices.  By combining these anti-bribery laws with some bounty action and whistleblower laws that have been enacted in the United States, some individuals can not only expose large bribery schemes, but can also potentially collect large rewards for exposing large international bribery schemes.

These reward laws can be extremely complicated and usually require original information of the bribery scheme which is not known by the press or available to the public.  These reward laws also require the bribery schemes to be extremely large over at least $1 million and typically over $10 million.  The reward laws also typically have a first to file provision that means that the first person or corporation to properly expose the illegal conduct is who can recover the reward.

There are several reward laws and each has several requirements and restrictions.  Some allow anonymous reporting, while others do not.  For more information on exposing international bribes and potentially collecting a reward for exposing corruption, please go to the following web pages: International Whistleblower Rewards and Texas International Bribery Lawyer
