Uniform Trade Secrets Act

And then you have an... entire administrative superstructure laid over it where you have the patent office Trade secrets originally came from the common law.

You now have the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, which is implemented in every state across the United States except for two.

And even more recently, you have the Defend Trade Secrets Act, the DTSA, which is federal and overlaps to a great extent with what you already have in the UTSA, but with a new federal commerce or foreign commerce component to it.

And DTSA is 10 years old now, but interestingly, the UTSA, which I don't think has been revised or materially revised for over 30 years, there are some changes being contemplated.
