Key Projects
- Trade Secret Dispute: In 2025, Lawyer He successfully represented a leading industrial company in a high-profile trade secret case. Centering on the three essential constitutive elements of trade secrets — non-publicity, confidentiality measures, and identity authentication — he conducted rigorous cross-examination targeting critical flaws in the opposing party’s claims, including the public availability of the alleged confidential information and the formalistic implementation of claimed confidentiality measures. Meanwhile, he submitted sufficient evidence to prove the client’s independent R&D capacity and legitimate technical source. He constructed a comprehensive defense strategy by negating the statutory constituent elements of trade secret infringement, effectively safeguarding the client’s legitimate legal rights and interests.
