With the enactment in 2016 of the Defend Trade Secrets Act and corresponding increase in federal court trade secrets litigation, many high-profile trade secrets cases making headlines in recent years, such as Waymo v. Uber, initiatives like the federal government's crackdown on China backed trade secrets theft, as well as trends like the decimation of software and diagnostic medical testing patents in the wake of U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision in Alice v. CLS Bank International, and the efforts by certain states and potentially even the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to cut back on the enforceability of restrictive covenants, it would be surprising if anyone were unaware of the increasing importance of trade secrets to all businesses. Indeed, if you hadn't gotten that message, articles have been legion since the advent of COVID-19 about how businesses need to take steps during this time of widespread remote work to enhance their trade secret protection efforts.
