It is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Civil Code section 3426.1, subdivision (b), as follows: 'Misappropriation' means: (1) Acquisition of a trade secret of another by a person who knows or has reason to know that the trade secret was acquired by improper means; (2) Disclosure or use of a trade secret of another without express or implied consent by a person who: (A) Used improper means to acquire knowledge of the trade secret; (B) at the time of disclosure or use, knew or had reason to know that his or her knowledge of the trade secret was: (i) Derived from or through a person who had utilized improper means to acquire it; (ii) Acquired under circumstances giving rise to a duty to maintain its secrecy or limit its use; (iii) Derived from or through a person who owed a duty to the person seeking relief to maintain its secrecy or limit its use; ... ." Under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (Civ. Code, 3426 et seq.), an actual or threatened misappropriation of such confidential information may be enjoined (Civ. Code, 3426.2) and a complainant may recover damages for unjust enrichment, or receive payment of a reasonable royalty (Civ. Code, 3426.3).
