What Is Trade Secret Insurance?
Some policies cover trade-secret disputes, with defense and enforcement handled under separate terms.
Trade-secret coverage may address specified claims that confidential business information was misused or disclosed. A policy may cover defending an allegation, pursuing another party, or only one side.
Describe the information and how you protect it. Check employee, contractor, contract, and prior-knowledge exclusions, plus limits, retention, notice, and consent requirements.
