603.050 - Infringement of trade secrets.

603.050  Infringement of trade secrets.  It is an infringement of a trade secret for a person, without the consent of the owner, to obtain possession of or access to a proprietary program or a compilation of proprietary information that is stored as data in a computer and make or cause to be made a copy of that program or data if the program or data:

      1.  Is used in the owner’s business;

      2.  Gives the owner an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it;

      3.  Is treated by the owner as secret; and

      4.  Is not copyrighted because an application therefor would result in the program or data no longer being secret.
