Trade Secret Law in Phoenix

A trade secret is proprietary information, unknown to competitors or the general public, which confers a competitive business advantage upon its holder. If despite reasonable efforts to protect the information, a person improperly releases the information — such as through the breach of a confidentiality agreement — he or she may be held legally liable for misappropriating the trade secret.

Acts that constitute misappropriation of a trade secret include acquiring the information through theft, fraud or other improper means or disclosing secret information.

Common forms of restitution include:

• Obtaining an injunction that forces an individual to cease his or her improper use of the trade secret
• Money damages, including lost earnings, profits acquired from illegal use of the secret or the payment of a royalty
• Attorneys’ fees sustained in protecting the trade secret against misappropriation
