The article explores the extraterritorial application of state trade secrets laws and the Defend Trade Secrets Act (“DTSA”).  According to the article, though courts have concluded that the DTSA reaches beyond the United States when the statutory requirements have been met, the reach of state trade secrets laws varies.
