I think that when trade secret laws were federalized, Congress lost it's focus on copyright and patents for the public good, and began to look at everything from a business standpoint.
Really, why do we have laws protecting secrets? If you want to keep a secret, don't tell. Also, don't mass produce a product containing it. Otherwise, tuff shit.
Reading the history of trade secret laws, they seem to have been a protection for those who wanted to have a patent, but couldn't get it approved. Now, how does that make any sense again?
I think focusing on patents and copyright while leaving off trade secrets is doing a disservice to the community. Any lawyers feel like clarifying what the hell trade secrets are and what they are supposed to be used for?
