Federal Defense of Trade Secrets Act Gives New Teeth in Defense of IP
Last December, I published an analysis of the trade secret laws in Oregon as compared to New York (two jurisdictions where I am licensed). Last week, President Barack Obama signed the Defense of Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) into law. This new law harmonizes the law between state jurisdictions and grants new powers for businesses and individuals to protect trade secrets more efficiently.
This Act (text here) allows the preliminary seizure of trade secrets and authorizes a federal action against theft of trade secrets.
