P0911 The requirement in CCP 2019.210 that in an action alleging the misappropriation of a trade secret under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act discovery shall not commence until the party alleging the misappropriation identifies the trade secret with reasonable particularity applies to any cause of action alleging misappropriation of a trade secret, no matter what the theory, and is satisfied if the party sufficiently identifies the trade secrets at issue to distinguish them from matters of general knowledge in the trade and to permit the trial court to control the scope of subsequent discovery, while protecting all parties' proprietary information and allowing a fair opportunity for preparation of a defense.CitationADVANCED MODULAR SPUTTERING v SUPERIOR COURT (Trade Secrets) 132 CA4 826 [See: CivC 3426-3426.11; CCP 2019.210, 2091; Computer v Gartner 50 FSupp2 980; IMAX v Cinema Technologies 152 F3 1161; Glenfed v Superior Court 53 CA4 1113, T/AT 5/97]
