Trade Secrets and NDAs

Trade secrets are confidential business information that have value because they are not generally known and are the subject of efforts by the business to keep the information confidential.

There are also federal laws that provide additional protection for trade secrets by way of severe civil and criminal penalties for theft or other misappropriation of trade secrets.

When it comes to determining liability for stolen trade secrets used by unsuspecting third parties, the question in litigation often becomes who knew what when? It has not always been clear when the statute of limitations for these third-party lawsuits begins ticking. Does it start when the trade-secret owner realizes its stolen intellectual property has been licensed to third parties? Does it begin when the trade-secret owner files a lawsuit against the company that stole the secrets and then licensed them to others? Or does it only begin counting down when third-party users are notified that they possess stolen IP?
