Report Link Brescia v. Angelin, the Latest Reported Case Regarding CCP 2019.210 Trade Secret Statements: A More Employer-Friendly Standard.
Littler Mendelson, P.C. - April 22, 2009
One issue in trade secret litigation is whether a plaintiff has adequately identified the trade secrets it alleges were misappropriated. In California, a plaintiff alleging misappropriation of trade secrets must identify the allegedly misappropriated trade secrets with "reasonable particularity" before commencing discovery concerning the trade secrets claim.1 As a result, defendants often challenge a plaintiff's so-called California Code of Civil Procedure section 2019.210 statement to force the plaintiff to better define the scope of the allegedly misappropriated trade secrets.

Report Link California's Anti-SLAPP Law Protects Letter to Employer's Customers About Contemplated Trade Secrets Litigation.
Jackson Lewis LLP - May 12, 2008
The California Court of Appeal has ruled that an employer's attorney's letter to the employer's customers concerning potential trade secrets litigation was protected speech under California's anti-SLAPP ("strategic lawsuit against public participation") law, Cal. Civ. Code Section 425.16. Neville v. Chudacoff, No. B198253 (Cal. Ct. App. Mar. 12, 2008). The court held that the letter directly related to the employer's claims and that, when it was written, the employer seriously and in good faith was contemplating litigation against the employee. Thus, the court affirmed the trial court's order dismissing the employee's claim against the employer's attorney.
