Rajiv Dharnidharka Examines Trade Secret Litigation Trends

Foley & Lardner LLP partner Rajiv Dharnidharka commented on anticipated developments in trade secret law this year in the Law360 article, “Trade Secret Trends To Watch In 2026.”

Assessing scrutiny from the Virginia Supreme Court on a major trade secrets jury award, he said that while he is curious about what the court decides regarding burden shifting, he is more interested to see what states with a larger trade secrets caseload do in response.

“I’m thinking about this from two perspectives,” Dharnidharka continued. “One, what does this state do? And then two, who follows it? Because if you think about most of the trade secrets claims that involve technology, those cases are mostly coming up in California, New York, Illinois, Texas, and Florida.”
