BUSINESS CASE PROBLEM WITH SAMPLE ANSWER: Trade Secrets.
BUSINESS CASE PROBLEM WITH SAMPLE ANSWER: Trade Secrets.     Jesse Edwards, an employee of Carbon Processing and Reclamation, LLC (CPR), put unmarked boxes of company records in his car. Edwards's wife, Channon, who suspected him of hiding financial information from her, gained access to the documents. William Jones, the owner of CPR, filed a suit, contending that Channon's unauthorized access to the files was a theft of trade secrets. Could the information in the documents be trade secrets? Should liability be imposed? Why or why not? [Jones v. Hamilton, 53 So.3d 134 (Ala.Civ.App. 2010)]
