If enacted, the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (“DTSA”) could change how some trade secret misappropriation claims are litigated in Arizona. Trade secret plaintiffs generally must bring claims for misappropriation in state court, because federal courts lack jurisdiction to resolve lawsuits based solely on misappropriation. The DTSA would give federal courts original jurisdiction to resolve federal trade secret misappropriation claims, providing a new forum with significant implications for trade secret plaintiffs and defendants.
