We at Najla Law Firm know how precious your trade secrets are to your growth and success. Here is an overview of U.S. trade secrets law and how it shields your firm’s most precious assets.
What Are Trade Secrets?
Trade secrets are secret business data that provide a business with an edge over their counterparts. They can be recipes, processes, designs, methods, lists of customers, or computer programs. Like patents and trademarks, they are protected by registration, but with trade secrets, you protect them without registration if you maintain them confidential in reasonable manners.
Key Aspects of U.S. Trade Secrets Law
The key federal statute protecting trade secrets is the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016. The act allows companies to bring claims in federal court for misappropriation of trade secrets. The state codes used in this supplement are derived from the Uniform Trade Secrets Act and are adopted by most states.
