Breach of NDA

Violating an NDA can lead to legal action. Massachusetts law provides the injured party three years from the date of discovering misappropriation to take the other party to court.[1]

Trade Secret: Defined

Massachusetts’s statutory definition of a trade secret defines it as information that[2]:

  • Is either tangible or intangible.
  • Provides the owner an economic advantage by not being known by other companies.
  • Is being maintained confidential by the owner.
