The article analyzes the ways California's Uniform Trade Secrets Act (CUTSA) supersedes other trade secrets-related claims. It explains CUTSA does not affect contractual remedies, criminal remedies and other civil remedies that are not based on misappropriation of trade secrets. It explores its aim to provide a uniform law for trade secrets claims. The advantages of pleading around CUTSA and court cases that illustrate CUTSA superseding other trade secrets-related claims are also discussed.
