Creates the uniform trade secrets act

This bill creates New York's "Uniform Trade Secrets Act" (Article 17-B) in the General Business Law. It directly affects businesses and individuals who develop or use proprietary information (like formulas, processes, or customer lists) by standardizing how trade secret theft is handled in court. Key provisions define "misappropriation" (unauthorized use or disclosure), establish court orders to stop theft, allow financial compensation for losses, and set a three-year deadline to file claims. The law replaces conflicting state rules, ensuring consistent legal procedures for trade secret cases across New York.
