Prof. Cotter Quoted in Winona Daily News on Trade Secret Dispute

Professor Thomas Cotter was quoted in a Winona Daily News article entitled "Emails Show Winona County Employee Passed Along Info on Disputed Solar Project." Cotter stated that a trade secret "can be essentially any information that has value, whether actual value or potential value," but that the owner of the purported secret must show that it took reasonable precautions to keep the information safe, and that it is not "always easy to quantify" the value of such information.
