Trade Secrets: A State-by-State Survey, Third Edition provides in-depth analysis of each state's statutory and common law protection of trade secrets and other confidential business information, both within and outside the employment context. It also provides detailed discussions of cases resolving questions of first impression under the laws of the various states, including whether:
- California's state civil statute governing discovery in state Uniform Trade Secret Act (UTSA) cases extends to non-UTSA causes of actions
- Kentucky's state UTSA protects customer lists
- The Maine Law Court would follow Restatement of Agency 396(b)
- The statute of limitations for violations of Minnesota's state UTSA begins to run anew with each wrongful use of a trade secret
- The statute of limitations for violations of Ohio's state UTSA incorporates the discovery rule
- Tennessee state law would permit introduction of circumstantial evidence of use in trade secret cases
In addition, the Third Edition addresses several issues for the first time as specific "Additional Topics," including: Amendments to Complaint, Consolidation, Conspiracy, Conversion, Declaratory Judgments, Default Judgments, Directed Verdicts, Evidence (Circumstantial), First-Filed Rule, Forum Selection Clauses, Gist of the Action Doctrine, Interrogatories, Jurisdiction (Supplemental), Litigation Privilege, Ownership Versus Possession, Questions of Law, and Sanctions. It also contains expanded discussions of the inevitable disclosure doctrine and important cross references to other titles in the BNA Books State-by-State Survey series.
In the 2010 Cumulative Supplement you'll find analysis of issues critical to trade secret practice across the nation, including:
- The tolling of trade secret misappropriation claims under Arkansas law
- The status of the inevitable disclosure doctrine under evolving Florida law
- Amendments to the Maryland Uniform Trade Secrets Act
- The level of specificity required to defeat a motion on the pleadings in a New York trade secrets case
State and federal courts addressing trade secret issues have recently brought greater clarity to numerous issues critical to the protection of valuable confidential information. Practitioners can track such developments with this treatise.
