A trade secret is information that gives a business a competitive edge because it is not generally known and is kept confidential. Misappropriation occurs when someone uses or discloses that information without authorization.
California law provides remedies through civil actions, injunctive relief, and damages to deter further misuse and protect your confidential information.
Trade secrets include formulas, practices, customer lists, and processes that provide economic value from their secrecy. Reasonable measures to maintain secrecy are a key element of protection.
The core elements involve identifying protectable information, documenting misappropriation, preserving evidence, and pursuing appropriate remedies such as injunctions, damages, or settlements.
