What should you do if a former manager or employee is sued by their company for infringing trade secrets? First, verify that the information is indeed a genuine trade secret.

The company suddenly sends a lawyer's letter accusing you of downloading client lists, technical documents, pricing information, or source code before you left; even the police and investigation bureau have summoned you, demanding an explanation for why these files appeared in your personal email, USB drive, Google Drive, or on your new company's computer. At this point, the most important thing is not simply to answer, "These are the documents I used during my work," nor to assume a crime is committed just because a company document says "Confidential." Trade secret criminal cases truly require dissecting several completely different questions: Which information is the company accusing you of? Is that information legally a trade secret? Did you have the right to obtain it at the time? Did you copy, retain, use, or provide it before or after leaving the company…?
