Event Summary:

The enactment of the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) in 2016 has provided federal jurisdiction for trade secrets claims, which allowed owners with misappropriated trade secrets to file complaints in the federal court. Since its passage, a notable rise of trade secrets claims has been reported with 1, 134 cases in 2017 from the average number of 900 cases filed in the previous years. It is possible that this might upsurge in the unpredictable future; thus, businesses must keep abreast of the recent developments in the DTSA. They must proactively review their procedures and safeguard their sensitive documents by ensuring intellectual property protection to avoid trade secrets liabilities.
