Bellevue, WA – April 9, 2025 – Today, Tangibly, the leading trade secret management platform, proudly announces the launch of Trade Secret 2025 (TS25)—a cutting-edge digital resource designed to revolutionize trade secret knowledge sharing. TS25 combines the latest expertise from academia, legal practice, and business in an intuitive, AI-driven platform powered by a proprietary Large Language Model (LLM) to empower organizations with actionable insights and guidance.

A New Era in Trade Secret Management

Developed in collaboration with a collective of trade secret experts, TS25 addresses a critical gap in how businesses understand and manage trade secrets. After years of research and engagement with corporate leaders, legal professionals, and academics, Tangibly and its expert contributors identified a common challenge: the lack of practical, accessible guidance for managing trade secrets effectively.

“Trade secrets are often regarded as a company’s most valuable intellectual property, yet norms for managing them remain frustratingly vague,” said Jim Pooley, a renowned trade secret legal expert and TS25 contributor. “TS25 fills this gap by offering up-to-date information and expert guidance, from recent court decisions to essential resources authored by leading authorities.”

“Our vision is to create the most comprehensive and practical trade secret resource available, helping businesses of all sizes protect and leverage their intellectual property more effectively,” said Tim Londergan, CEO at Tangibly.
