You are invited to listen to Episode 41 of Greenberg Traurig’s Trade Secret Law Evolution Podcast, “Preemption and the Risk of 'Shotgun' Pleadings, and the Showing Required for Sealing Trade Secrets in Court Records.”
In this episode, host Jordan Grotzinger addresses the doctrine of “preemption,” or supersession, under the California Uniform Trade Secrets Act, and specifically how a “shotgun” pleading of related claims can result in preemption. He also discusses a court decision explaining the showing needed to have trade secret information in court papers filed under seal.
