Trade Secret Laws-State & Federal
Trade secrets are protected by both state laws-which vary from state-to-state (see below)-and the federal Economic Espionage Act of 1996 (pdf of text) (18 U.S.C. Sec. 1831-1839). Most states (46) use a version of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (pdf of text) (UTSA) as a default set of rules to deal with misappropriation of trade secrets. The Uniform Trade Secret Act is part of the states’ civil codes and spells out liability and injunctions to remedy misappropriation. The UTSA defines: "Trade secret" means information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process, that: (i) derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, and (ii) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.
The Economic Espionage Act is a criminal statute and makes it a felony to sell, disseminate, or otherwise deal in trade secrets, or attempt to do so, without the owner's consent. The term "trade secret" is potentially much broader than the UTSA definition and means “all forms and types of financial, business, scientific, technical, economic, or engineering information, including patterns, plans, compilations, program devices, formulas, designs, prototypes, methods, techniques, processes, procedures, programs, or codes, whether tangible or intangible, and whether or how stored, compiled, or memorialized physically, electronically, graphically, photographically, or in writing if--(A) the owner thereof has taken reasonable measures to keep such information secret; and (B) the information derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable through proper means by, the public[.]” 18 U.S.C. §1839(3).
Apologies: Many of the links are no longer working to retrieve the statutes, these results are mostly shown without the link underline. The good news is that these statutes are generally available for free now and can be found by search engines by referring to the state name and “trade secret law”.
