New Jersey Trade Secrets Act Becomes Law : IP Law Alert:

by Gibbons, PC

"Yesterday, [January 9, 2012] Governor Chris Christie signed into law the New Jersey Trade Secrets Act, A-921/S-2456 providing state law protection against trade secret misappropriation. Prior to enactment, New Jersey was one of only four states (including New York, Massachusetts and Texas) that had not adopted some form of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act.

This important New Jersey law development takes immediate effect. In sum, trade secrets can be used to protect a company’s know-how and other proprietary information."
