Today (May 11, 2016), President Obama signed the Defend Trade
Secrets Act ("DTSA") into law, for the first time
creating a federal cause of action for trade secret
misappropriation. The law has sweeping implications and is expected
to have a noticeable impact on trade secret jurisprudence. In
addition, the law adds new obligations for employers hoping to
benefit from the DTSA's protections.
To fully understand the breadth of the DTSA and the implications
that it has, please review our Client Alert, available
