Trade secrets are protected under the common law and, in some states, by state statute. Obtaining protection in the courts for misappropriation of trade secrets requires a company to itself undertake steps to protect the secrecy status of that information. Company sign-in rules, restricted building areas and signs, visitor name badges, visitor sign-in sheets, and confidentiality agreements are some of the efforts a company can undertake to establish secrecy status for its valuable information.
