Has the DTSA Changed Trade Secret Litigation in New York?

Robert S. Friedman and James Salem of Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton write: Under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, the basic elements of a typical trade secret litigation are not much altered, especially in states in which the Uniform Trade Secrets Act has been in place for years. However, as more cases are filed under the DTSA, some of the new tools and strategies that the DTSA now makes available to New York-based business litigators are becoming more apparent.

Understanding the Defend Trade Secrets Act and Available Remedies

Trade secrets make up the most important assets of many U.S. companies, small and large. The importance of trade secrets cannot be understated, as they comprise 70 percent of the value of U.S. public companies' information portfolios, totaling over $5 trillion (U.S. Chamber of Commerce, The Case for Enhanced Protection of Trade Secrets in the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement), and making them an inviting target for theft from both domestic and international competitors. In fact, it has been estimated that the annual value of trade secret losses in the United States is $300 billion, which has led to an estimated loss of 2.1 million American jobs per year (S. Rep. No. 114-220, 2016). Trade secret theft is conducted from both within and from outside of a target, with 50-80% of all global intellectual property theft being traceable to China (The IP Commission, The Report of the Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property).
