Christine invented a new product that can be used to remove plastic from the ocean. She doesn't
Question:
Christine invented a new product that can be used to remove plastic from the ocean. She doesn't have the money to file a patent, so she puts the specs in a drawer at work with big red letters spelling "TRADE SECRETS." She then hires and trains Sydney on the manufacturing process including all the specs to build the product. Sydney doesn't sign a non-disclosure agreement and no other action is taken to secure the secret specs. After three months, Sydney leaves and starts working for another company doing similar work. Christine suspects that Sydney misappropriated her trade secret. If sued for misappropriation of trade secrets, which of the following would be a good defense for Sydney (assuming Sydney could prove it)?
Group of answer choices
that the drawer was unlocked and frequently used.
that the product had no real or potential commercial value
All of these answer choices
that the product was exactly the same as other products on the market
