SIM IP x Tangibly
We find trade secret theft and fund litigation
Establishing the facts
When valuable business information may have been taken, we find what actually happened.
Valuing the case
Once the facts are clear, we value the matter to determine whether enforcement is strong and winnable.
Financing enforcement
When enforcement makes sense, we fund the path forward so cost is not the barrier.
Common scenarios we see
Patterns that signal trade secret risk and demand clarity.
Employee Departures
Trade secrets often leave with employees who join competitors.
Sudden Competitive Overlap
Competitors suddenly release similar products, features, or pricing—frequently due to stolen IP.
Third-Party Relationships
Shared confidential information gets misused after partnerships, vendor deals, or collaborations end.
Confidentiality & NDA Breaches
Protected information appears elsewhere in violation of non-disclosure agreements.
M&A Transactions
Hidden IP theft or risks surface during due diligence or post-closing integration.
Suspected Cyber Breaches
Trade secrets are exfiltrated during data intrusions or cyberattacks.
If you think you have a case, it’s worth a conversation.

常见问题
What if we are not sure this is really a trade secret?
Most companies already have protectable trade secrets. Courts look at a narrow set of factors. The issue is usually identification and documentation, not whether protection exists. This partnership helps establish that quickly.
What if we cannot prove how the information was taken?
Direct evidence is rare. Courts routinely rely on circumstantial evidence such as access, timing, data movement, and competitive similarity. This partnership helps structure those facts into a usable record.
How long does this take?
Initial clarity does not take years. When information is organized early, assessments move quickly and decisions can be made without prolonged delay.
What does litigation financing look like?
Litigation financing means SIM IP provides capital to pursue strong matters. The business does not need to self-fund enforcement. Financing decisions are aligned with case strength and recovery potential.
How does this partnership help, specifically?
