A trade secret is a proprietary formula, process, practice, or combination of information that a company has exclusive rights to. Using an earlier example, the recipe that Coca-Cola has maintained since 1886 is a trade secret because it is proprietary and has economic value to the company only because of its secrecy. In the United States, trade secret laws are generally left up to the states, although most states have adopted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA), which was last amended in 1985. In addition, the Economic Espionage Act of 1996 (discussed earlier in this chapter) and the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) of 2016 both establish the theft or misappropriation of trade secrets as a federal crime.
