Key Legal Questions in Intellectual Property & Trade Secrets
What remedies are available under the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act (TUTSA)?
Under TUTSA and the federal DTSA, a trade secret owner can secure emergency injunctive relief, actual compensatory damages, unjust enrichment restitution, reasonable royalties, and in cases of willful misappropriation, exemplary damages up to twice actual damages plus full statutory attorney's fees.
How does Mousilli Law defend against aggressive patent infringement suits in the Southern and Western Districts of Texas?
We conduct immediate prior-art invalidity audits, challenge patent eligibility under 35 U.S.C. § 101, and leverage focused Markman claim construction hearings to invalidate or narrow adverse claims before expensive expert discovery begins.
How do you defeat emergency trademark injunctions brought by national BigLaw adversaries?
As demonstrated in our Tru Kids Brands v. TOYZ victory against Baker Botts, we attack the adverse party's evidentiary foundation, demonstrate distinct commercial marketplace impressions, and disprove irreparable harm under the landmark eBay v. MercExchange standard.
