Breach of NDA

If a breach occurs, the defaulting party can face legal action. In Delaware, the plaintiff has three years from the time of breach to file a claim.[1]

For trade secret misappropriation, claims must be filed within three years from the time of discovery.[2]

Trade Secret: Defined

Delaware statutes defines a trade secret as information that[3]:

  • Is economically valuable to the owner because it is not known by competitors.
  • Is being protected from unauthorized disclosure or misappropriation.
