    Original post

    A company that our firm has used under a PRIME Government contract and provided Proprietary Information to has been purchased by a direct competitor of ours.

    The Government is basically saying it is not their problem. Is there any precedent or language we can use to protect our IP?

    Thank you for any feedback.

    If visiting WIFCON is your first step, I recommend the link above as the second step. It discusses the importance of having non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements with your employees, associates, or subcontractors with access to your trade secrets. It also discusses trademarks, copyrights, and patents. And the bottom line? "A Business or Intellectual Property Lawyer Can Help."

    Based solely on what I read in the original posting, I tend to agree that it is not the Government's problem, if by Government you mean the agency with which you had a prime contract.

    What do you expect the Government to do?
