Trademarks and trade secrets under Oklahoma law
A name that you want on record in Oklahoma goes to the Oklahoma Secretary of State. The state business portal lists the Business Filing Department as the office that processes trademark registration filings.
The Business Filing Department also handles companies. According to the state business portal, Oklahoma LLCs, corporations, limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships are registered with the Secretary of State, which also processes trade name 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.
Oklahoma has its own Uniform Trade Secrets Act covering misappropriation under state law.
Oklahoma controls noncompetes by statute. Title 15 section 217 of the Oklahoma statutes 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.

Preparing a short summary
Write a one page summary of your situation before you call anyone. Start with what you made and how you made it. Add who else was involved, what has happened since, and what you hope will come next. Keep the tone factual and leave out guesses about what others meant. Attorneys read many matters, and a clear page makes yours easy to understand. Bring a second copy so you can both look at it. Mark the one or two points you most want covered, so they are not lost in a long discussion. Before the call, put your documents in date order and mark the pages you think matter most. Write a short list of people the attorney might need to ask about, with what each one did. Keep the list plain and factual. Bring both to the meeting.
Your next step
Make a short list before you call: when you made the work, who else helped, when you showed or sold it and what you signed. For a statewide view, see Oklahoma intellectual property attorneys.
