‍ ‍“In Snyder v. Beam Technologies, Inc., the Tenth Circuit clarified the distinction between “ownership” and “possession” under federal and state trade secret laws. The Court held that while only an “owner” of a trade secret may bring a claim under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (“DTSA”), the Colorado Uniform Trade Secrets Act (“CUTSA”) may allow a lawful “possessor” of a trade secret to bring suit. Even so, the Court affirmed that a plaintiff must still demonstrate that reasonable measures were taken to maintain secrecy—an element that Plaintiff, John Snyder (“Snyder”) failed to establish.”
