Pennsylvania Acts to Bolster Trade Secret Protection |
March 22, 2004
Previously published on March 15, 2004
On February 19, 2004, Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell signed into law the Uniform Trade Secrets Act
(UTSA), which will provide the courts with more specific legal standards to improve trade secret protection for
Pennsylvania employers. The loss of confidential information and trade secrets to a competitor can cause severe
damage to almost all businesses. Employers need to take several steps to benefit from the protection afforded by the
statute and to protect themselves from claims of trade secret theft by competitors.
