Question

A payroll company licenses its software to organizations. The license allows customers to make a backup copy of the software. All organizations are required to sign a confidentiality agreement. In the event an organization breaks the confidentiality agreement, how can the payroll company claim trade secret violation?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for payroll company to claim trade secret violation it needs to prove four things

• It must prove that the payroll software has at least minimal value.

• It must prove that the payroll software has sufficient originality.

• It must prove that it has invested heavily in the development of the payroll software.

• It must prove how they violated confidentiality

By proving all of these things the payroll company has a standing to open a claim against the violaters and take the case to court, demanding recompensation.
