We address the pros and cons of the proposed legislation known as PATSIA - Protecting American Trade Secrets and Innovation Act of 2012. John, Russell, and I also weigh other options to create a federal civil remedy compared to the PATSIA framework and discuss the policy rationales behind federalizing trade secrets claims in civil litigation.
