On April 21, 2020, legal data analytics and software company Lex Machina released its 2020 Trade Secret Litigation Report, which highlights trade secret litigation trends seen in federal court cases within the last ten years.
The report indicates that federal trade secret filings increased 30% between 2015 and 2017 and have remained steady between 2017 and 2019, and that insurance and financial services companies are the most common plaintiffs in trade secret misappropriation disputes.
