Creates the uniform trade secrets act
Bill A 8105 creates the "Uniform Trade Secrets Act" within the general business law. This act defines what qualifies as a "trade secret" and outlines actions considered "misappropriation," such as unauthorized acquisition or disclosure. It allows individuals and businesses to seek legal remedies for trade secret misappropriation, including court orders to stop misuse and financial compensation for damages incurred. The bill also provides for attorney's fees in specific situations and sets a three-year statute of limitations for bringing a claim.
