What are “Trade Secret” in Texas?
The Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act states that:
“Trade secret” means information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, process, financial data, or list of actual or potential customers or suppliers that:
(A) derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and
(B) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.
See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code section 134A.002(6).
