Intellectual Property » Confidential Information
Leakage of confidential information is a growing issue as manufacturing, or service delivery, is moved off-shore, competition to be first-to-market increases and social media or whistle-blower sites provide an ever-present temptation to divulge sensitive information.
Corrs assists clients every step of the way, from strategies to ensure protection and security of information on creation, to litigation to preventing the misuse of trade secrets disclosed.

Sigma Pharmaceuticals
Where an agreement for a local sponsor of a therapeutic good comes to an end, to what extent can the licensor rely on alleged confidential information to prevent the marketing of a competing product by the former licensee?
This is the difficult question at the heart of a case between Sigma Pharmaceuticals and its former licensing partner, Vifor International.
Corrs is acting for Sigma in a highly technical dispute over whether Sigma misused confidential information, owned by Vifor, when Sigma registered its own injectable iron supplement with the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
Our Thinking
Do you have the tactical and strategic edge in litigation?
From time to time you will be faced with a step which is unusual and not generally taken by lawyers. But if followed in the appropriate way it can save the client considerable time and money.
