New York, NY — August 5, 2025 — At David L. Cohen, P.C., we are proud to announce the publication of two legal resources, Trade Secret Audits and Trade Secret Valuation. Co-authored by David Cohen of Kidon IP and Donal O'Connell of Chawton Innovation Services Ltd, these works were published in July 2025 by Westlaw, a division of Thomson Reuters.
Aimed at both business leaders and corporate professionals, these publications offer invaluable insight into the often complicated topics of trade secret management, compliance, and valuation.
Intellectual property and trade secrets are critical assets for any organization that serve as a foundation for innovation, competitive advantage, and long-term success. Trade secrets, in particular, encompass a wide range of confidential information, from proprietary formulas to business strategies, that provide companies with a distinct edge in the market.
Protecting these assets is essential to preserving their value, preventing unauthorized access, and maintaining a company’s position in an increasingly competitive global economy. Therefore, it's essential to establish proper management and legal strategies to protect these critical resources.
In our publication, Trade Secret Audits, we provide an overview of the importance and rationale for how companies can benefit from conducting an intellectual property audit to assess their trade secret portfolio. By outlining systematic approaches for identifying and cataloging proprietary information, our publication equips businesses with strategies and information to protect their competitive advantage while complying with state, federal, and international law, where applicable.
In our second publication, Trade Secret Valuation, we identify the valuation of a company's intellectual property as a core strategic asset for its continued successful operation. In other words, our publication provides detailed, actionable methodologies and requirements that companies can employ to better maintain and leverage their intangible asset portfolio.
Access to the full publications can be found through the Westlaw website.
