Hull Barrett Attorney on the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016
Features, January 30, 2017
All businesses have intellectual property and trade secrets. A company is in business because it is offering something of “value” which can be a number of things from product to process to promotion. The loss or misappropriation of such can be devastating to the success and profitability of a company. In a measure to further protect businesses, the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) of 2016 was signed into law on May 11, 2016 after being unanimously passed in the Senate and ratified in the House. It creates a federal cause of action for trade secret misappropriation.
