Protect your AI innovations with a modern IP strategy.

Trade secrets protect valuable information by keeping it confidential and restricting access through policies, contracts, and internal controls. Unlike patents, they don’t require public disclosure, which means your models, data, and processes stay hidden from competitors. With the right safeguards in place, trade secret law allows you to take legal action if confidential AI assets are stolen, shared, or misused.

Patents are public and slow, often taking years to secure. Trade secrets offer immediate, private protection without exposing your innovation. They cover critical assets that patents can’t, like training data, model architecture, and proprietary processes.

Tangibly offers a combination of software and expert services to help AI companies identify, secure, and prove protection for their innovations. We build tailored trade secret programs and provide the tools to manage them. Whether you need guidance, automation, or both, we make sure your most valuable IP is locked down.

Models, training data, prompts, internal tools, system architectures, and proprietary processes—anything that gives your AI a competitive edge can be protected as a trade secret when properly secured.
