Whether the information concerned or its use is actually so confidential and worthy of protection that an infringement has occurred is usually by no means clear-cut, but can often be argued one way or the other. There is therefore often a realistic chance of successfully defending against such claims.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Claims for infringement of<br \/>trade secrets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you receive a cease and desist letter for infringement of a trade secret or are already in a legal dispute in court, the following claims are usually asserted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Injunctive relief:<\/strong><br \/>Injunctive relief serves to effectively prevent further acts of infringement. The infringer must refrain from unauthorized use of the trade secret in the future. This claim is fulfilled out of court by submitting a cease-and-desist declaration with a penalty clause.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Removal claim:<\/strong><br \/>The removal claim serves to eliminate existing infringements of trade secrets or their consequences. The infringer must ensure that the infringement of the secret is eliminated, e.g. by returning or destroying information obtained without authorization or by removing corresponding confidential data from the affected systems. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Claim for damages:<\/strong><br \/>The owner of the trade secret can use the claim for damages to assert the damage caused by the infringement. The damages can be calculated in various ways, e.g. the loss of profit, a reasonable license fee or the infringer&#8217;s profit. The amount of damages varies depending on the severity of the infringement.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Claims for information and accounting:<\/strong><br \/>The claim for information and accounting serves to determine and quantify the damage incurred. This is particularly relevant in connection with products if, among other things, their design, features or functionality are based to a significant extent on the disclosed trade secret. With regard to infringing products, the infringer must provide detailed information on the names and addresses of manufacturers, suppliers and customers for whom the products were intended. The right to information also includes the exact quantities of the infringing products manufactured, ordered, delivered or received. Furthermore, information must be provided about the documents, objects, materials, substances or electronic files containing the trade secret and the person from whom the trade secret was obtained or to whom it was disclosed.    <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Destruction and recall claims:<\/strong><br \/>The infringer must ensure that no further infringements of the trade secret occur. This includes in particular the return, destruction or removal of the unlawfully obtained information and the termination of its use, insofar as this is necessary to remedy the infringement. In addition, infringing products must be recalled, permanently removed from the distribution channels, destroyed and withdrawn from the market.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reimbursement of costs for cease and desist letters:<\/strong><br \/>The claim for reimbursement of costs serves to relieve the trade secret holder who takes action against an infringer of his or her laws. In the event of a justified cease and desist letter, the trade secret holder can demand reimbursement of the associated costs (e.g. legal fees, investigation or testing costs) from the infringer. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Effects of these claims for the defendant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trade secret infringement claims have significant implications that not every company is immediately aware of when confronted with such claims in a cease and desist letter or lawsuit. The consequences can be considerable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Conversion costs:<\/strong><br \/>The claims can be associated with high costs. Affected products, documents, data, software or other materials that use the infringed trade secret must be removed or replaced with ones that do not infringe secrets, which is not always possible. This often also means that investments in the areas affected by the information are wasted and the company has to start its business processes all over again.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Business interruptions:<\/strong><br \/>The removal and destruction of information protected as a trade secret can lead to an interruption of work processes, especially if central information that is essential for production or service is affected. The recovery or redevelopment of alternative solutions can also cost time and resources. This can severely restrict the ability to continue doing business.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reputational damage:<\/strong><br \/>Infringements of the company&#8217;s trade secrets that become known can cause lasting damage to its reputation. The same applies if the purchasers of infringing products are confronted with claims for trade secret infringements. Customers, investors and partners may lose confidence, which can lead to a decline in demand for products or services. The need to restore image and regain trust can require considerable resources.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Information and accounting:<\/strong><br \/>The information that may have to be provided to the holder of trade secrets is very extensive and includes the disclosure of confidential business relationships as well as the submission of invoices and other internal documents. This can have a lasting negative impact on these business relationships, as the disclosure of sensitive information can affect the trust of partners and customers. In addition, commercial customers who become the focus of trade secret infringement claims may in turn assert recourse claims, which can result in additional legal and financial burdens for the company.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Legal costs and claims for damages:<\/strong> <br \/>The amount of damages is calculated on the basis of the trade secret owner&#8217;s loss of profit, a reasonable license fee or the profit made by the infringer. Depending on the constellation, considerable amounts can be incurred here, which, in the case of justified claims, are added to the cease and desist letter and procedural costs, which are also not insignificant. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recall and destruction costs:<\/strong><br \/>Companies may be obliged to recall and destroy infringing products that have already been produced and are in circulation. This not only leads to direct financial losses, but can also affect customer confidence. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n            <div id=\"content-cloner-block_01dd8c9fb4a4472b8b6aaeed61a48b2e\" class=\"wp-block-visual4-content-cloner alignfull\">\r\n            \n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-light has-base-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b24dfd2c2975c61c616eb74d9a3ea188\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-secondary-background-color has-background-dim-60 has-background-dim\"><\/span><video class=\"wp-block-cover__video-background intrinsic-ignore\" autoplay muted loop playsinline src=\"https:\/\/kpw.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/loop-1.mp4\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"><\/video><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-cf05694f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-19e250f3 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6c531013 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:500;letter-spacing:10%\">Received a cease and desist letter?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\r\n<div id=\"multirow-headline-block_e29a7aeb4e8c7f5ce5d65f98ee2352ac\" class=\"wp-block-visual4-multirow-headline alignwide\">\r\n    <div class=\"wp-block-visual4-multirow-headline\">\n\n<p class=\"has-huge-font-size\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0%;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;font-style:normal;font-weight:1000;line-height:1;text-transform:uppercase\">How to react<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-x-large-font-size\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:8%;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;font-style:normal;font-weight:1000;line-height:0.9;text-transform:uppercase\">You are best advised to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-huge-font-size\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0%;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;font-style:normal;font-weight:1000;line-height:0.9;text-transform:uppercase\">cease and desist letter!<\/p>\n\n<\/div> \r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A cease and desist letter, e.g. for infringement of competition law, industrial property rights or copyright, should always be taken seriously, as it can have considerable legal and financial consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Timely and professional advice is crucial in order to minimize risks and develop the right strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);flex-basis:60%\">\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Check cease and desist letter:<\/strong> Have the cease and desist letter legally checked.
