Trade secrets are confidential information that gives a business a competitive edge, such as formulas, lists, processes, or methods.
Misappropriation includes improperly obtaining, using, or disclosing that information through theft, breach of contract, or other improper means.
Under California law, trade secrets are information with economic value that is not generally known and is protected by reasonable efforts to maintain secrecy, typically under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act.
Key elements include identifying the trade secret, preserving evidence, pursuing legal remedies, and planning a strategy for discovery, negotiation, and potential litigation.
