Trade Secret Litigation.

The article discusses the split of authority over the extent to which an action under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA) preempts other claims based on misappropriation of confidential information. This was recognized by the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah in its decision in the case ClearOne Comms., Inc. v. Chiang. The court decision highlighted the inconsistency of application of the UTSA preemption clause and its implications for trade secret misappropriation actions.
