Twitter's claim that Meta Platforms stole trade secrets to build its new microblogging site may be the first volley in a legal battle between the social media giants, but experts say Twitter would have to clear a high hurdle if it sues.
To win, a company needs to show its competitor took information that was economically valuable and which the company had taken"reasonable efforts" to keep secret, said Polk Wagner, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania."The courts are pretty clear that you can't just waive your hands and say something is a trade secret. On the other hand, you don't have to lock everything down so much that nobody can use the information," Wagner said.
Sharon Sandeen, a professor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, said that companies have lost trade- secret cases when they claimed that employees were bound by broad agreements designating all the company's information as confidential.
