Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine recognizes that former employees who go to work for a competitor in a similar capacity will eventually disclose trade secrets gained in their former employment. This form of employee trade secret misappropriation has been recognized by some courts. Option A is incorrect because there is no such thing as a Registered Trademark Secret. Option B is also incorrect because there is no such thing as a Uniform Trade Secret. Option D, Constructive Abandonment, is unrelated to the concept of employee trade secret misappropriation under the Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine.
