If the other party to your trade secret protection agreement violates the agreement by disclosing your trade secrets or otherwise using your trade secrets in a manner not contemplated by your agreement, you may be entitled to bring a claim for misappropriation, in which you could receive compensation for any damages you or your business had suffered and injunctive relief legally barring the other party from disclosing or using your trade secrets. However, you should also be mindful that if your trade secrets are deemed to have become public knowledge as a result of the other party’s action, you may lose continued trade secret protection.
