What is the geographic scope of protection of a trade secret?
Trade secret protection is a state right. A vast majority of states, including Minnesota, have adopted the Uniform Trade Secret Act. Other states have a law or laws similar to the Uniform Act. Foreign countries have similar laws, although, the particular country should be checked before reliance is placed on trade secrets in a foreign country. The rights will seem to be national or international in scope, since registration of trade secrets is not required and since most states and foreign countries protect trade secrets.
