Trade secret laws provide another way to protect a business’ valuable intellectual capital.  Generally speaking, trade secret protections are available for any information that is secret, that derives value from being secret, and that has been the subject of reasonable efforts by the trade secret holder to maintain the secrecy.  Trade secret misappropriation refers to the unauthorized use of a trade secret by someone other than the trade secret holder.
