Courts Expand The DTSA’s Reach To Foreign Trade Secret Misappropriation Following Motorola v. Hytera

The Seventh Circuit's 2024 decision in Motorola Solutions v. Hytera Communications established that the Defend Trade Secrets Act can reach conduct outside the United States and permit recovery of damages based on worldwide sales.
