Hazel Trade Secret Asset Management Solution

What It Does

Hazel is a trade-secret asset-management system for identifying, classifying, logging and tracking trade secrets, and is a product of Chawton Innovation Services Ltd. It helps organisations collect and organise metadata about their own trade secrets and those entrusted to them by third parties — recording who owns a given trade secret, who is responsible for protecting it, and who has access. The vendor positions it as installable and usable with limited specialised training, aimed at companies of all sizes as well as IP-focused law firms.
