Trademarks and trade secrets under Oklahoma law
Oklahoma state trademark registrations are filed with the Oklahoma Secretary of State, and the state business portal lists the Business Filing Department as the office that processes trademark registration filings.
On the same state business portal, Oklahoma LLCs, corporations, limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships are registered with the Secretary of State, whose Business Filing Department also processes trade name and trademark filings. Registration is available electronically or by filling out the appropriate forms and submitting them to the Secretary of State. The portal describes a name availability search and a name reservation of up to 60 days, which is useful if you are choosing a company name in Bixby before you commit to signage or a website.
Trade secrets have two layers. Oklahoma has its own Uniform Trade Secrets Act for misappropriation under state law.
Noncompetes are different from trade secrets, and Oklahoma controls them by statute. Title 15 section 217 voids a contract that restrains someone from a lawful profession, trade or business except as sections 218 and 219 allow. Section 219A(A) says a former employee may work in the same or a similar business as long as the former employee does not directly solicit the sale of goods or services from the former employer’s established customers. An attorney should confirm the current rule for a particular agreement.

Notes for the first meeting
Take a notebook to your first meeting and write down what the attorney says. Memory fades quickly after a long conversation, and your notes will help you compare options later. Decide beforehand how you would like to be reached, whether by phone, email or in person, and tell the attorney early. Share the times that suit you for later conversations, and say if you need information in writing so you can read it again later. If you are not sure which topic to start with, say so and ask the attorney to help you choose one. You can return to the others later.
