  As used in this part, unless the context otherwise requires:  “Manufacturer's or distributor's representative” means a person who has on the person's person and available for public inspection written proof that such person is authorized by the manufacturer or distributor for the public retail sale of those products which are offered for sale. Such credentials shall include the seller's name and may include a date upon which such authorization shall expire;    “New and unused property” means tangible personal property that was acquired by the new and unused property merchant directly from the producer, manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer in the ordinary course of business which has never been used since its production or manufacturing or which is in its original and unopened package or container, if such personal property was so packaged when originally produced or manufactured;   “New and unused property” does not include:   Property which is in its original and unopened package or container that contains a date or expiration date and such date is not a new date or the date has expired;   Property which was pre-owned by an individual other than the new and unused property merchant and such individual obtained the property through the ordinary course of business; or   Property, although never used, whose style, packaging or material clearly indicates that such property was not produced or manufactured within recent times;       “New and unused property merchant” means a person who engages in the retail sale of personal property at a wholesale/retail outlet in this state and some of such property offered for sale is new and unused; and    “Wholesale/Retail Outlet” means an event:   At which two (2) or more persons offer personal property for sale or exchange; and   If the event is held more than six (6) times in any twelve-month period, regardless of the number of persons offering or displaying personal property or the absence of fees, at which such property is offered or displayed for sale or exchange; or   At which a fee is charged for the privilege of offering or displaying such personal property; or   At which a fee is charged to prospective buyers for admission to the area where such personal property is offered or displayed for sale.     “Wholesale/retail outlet” is interchangeable with and applicable to “flea market,” “itinerant vendor,” “swap meet,” “indoor swap meet,” or other similar terms regardless of whether these events are held inside a building or outside in the open. The primary characteristic is that these activities involve a series of sales sufficient in number, scope, and character to constitute a regular course of business.   “Wholesale/retail outlet” does not mean nor apply to an event which is organized for the exclusive benefit of any community chest, fund, foundation, association, or corporation organized and operated for religious, educational, or charitable purposes.

TN Code § 47-25-1703 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 47 - Commercial Instruments and Transactions|Chapter 25 - Trade Practices|Part 17 - Uniform Trade Secrets Act|§ 47-25-1703. Injunctive Relief

  Actual or threatened misappropriation may be enjoined. Upon application to the court an injunction shall be terminated when the trade secret has ceased to exist, but the injunction may be continued for an additional reasonable period of time in appropriate circumstances for reasons including, but not limited to, an elimination of the commercial advantage that otherwise would be derived from the misappropriation, deterrence of willful and malicious misappropriation, or where the trade secret ceases to exist due to the fault of the enjoined party or others by improper means.   In exceptional circumstances, an injunction may condition future use upon payment of a reasonable royalty for no longer than the period of time for which use could have been prohibited. Exceptional circumstances include, but are not limited to, a material and prejudicial change of position prior to acquiring knowledge or reason to know of misappropriation that renders a prohibitive injunction inequitable.   In appropriate circumstances, affirmative acts to provide a trade secret may be compelled by court order.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 47 - Commercial Instruments and Transactions|Chapter 25 - Trade Practices|Part 17 - Uniform Trade Secrets Act|§ 47-25-1704. Damages

  In addition to or in lieu of the relief provided by § 47-25-1703, a complainant is entitled to recover damages for misappropriation except to the extent that defendant can show a material and prejudicial change of position prior to acquiring knowledge or reason to know of misappropriation and such renders a monetary recovery inequitable. Damages can include both the actual loss caused by misappropriation and the unjust enrichment caused by misappropriation that is not taken into account in computing actual loss. In lieu of damages measured by any other methods, the damages caused by misappropriation may be measured by imposition of liability for a reasonable royalty for a misappropriator's unauthorized disclosure or use of a trade secret.   If willful and malicious misappropriation exists, the court may award exemplary damages in an amount not exceeding twice any award made under subsection (a).

This part does not affect:  Contractual remedies, whether or not based upon misappropriation of a trade secret; provided, that a contractual duty to maintain secrecy or limit use of a trade secret shall not be deemed to be void or unenforceable solely for lack of durational or geographical limitation on the duty;   Other civil remedies that are not based upon misappropriation of a trade secret; or   Criminal remedies, whether or not based upon misappropriation of a trade secret.
