In a Law360 article, employment and litigation attorneys explored significant trends and key takeaways from Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) case law nationwide, with a focus on pleading requirements, damages and key risk factors, before providing practical guidance to companies looking to protect one of their most valuable assets.
Since the DTSA was enacted by the U.S. Congress 10 years ago, it has become a key tool for companies seeking to protect their intellectual property from misappropriation and theft. The authors note that some jurisdictions have proven more hospitable than others to DTSA claims, and companies must balance the need to prosecute malfeasors against the potential exposure of their trade secrets to deep scrutiny from courts and opposing counsel.
The article was authored by employment partner Greg Demers, litigation & enforcement counsel Cassandra Roth and litigation & enforcement associates Annie Monjar and John Hughes.
