Desktop Reference: What Employers Need To Know About Non-Compete and Trade
Secrets Law
With the passage of the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) in May
2016, there is now a federal cause of action for trade secrets
misappropriation. In addition, some states have passed legislation
this year further narrowing the use of non-compete agreements, and
both federal and state regulators have increased their scrutiny of
such agreements in certain contexts.
