As reported here, Judge Langhorne Keith of the Circuit Court of Fairfax County decided in favor of the defendant Actuate and two individuals in a trade secrets case that was the subject of a five-week bench trial.
Virginia has adopted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, which means that case law from all over is in play. I have tried to use a time or two when employees ran off with the "crown jewels" but had no non-compete/non-disclosure agreement with the company. The problem is, the crown jewels aren't always trade secrets, as defined under the Act.
