Under Missouri law, a trade secret includes information that derives independent economic value from not being generally known. It may be technical data, formulas, patterns, or other confidential business information.
To qualify, reasonable efforts must be made to maintain the secrecy of this information. Legal protection exists as long as the secret is properly safeguarded.
Businesses protect trade secrets by implementing confidentiality agreements, limiting access to sensitive information, and establishing strong internal security policies.
