Remedying the overseas misappropriation of U.S. companies’ trade secrets, particularly in China, was one of Congress’ core goals when it enacted the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) in 2016. But despite that goal, some district courts have wrestled over the extent to which the DTSA could apply to misconduct that occurred abroad. Now, in Motorola Sols., Inc. v. Hytera Commc’ns Corp. Ltd., the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has resoundingly affirmed the extraterritorial reach of the DTSA, finding that worldwide sales of a product incorporating misappropriated trade secrets may be recoverable as damages. The Seventh Circuit has ruled that, under the DTSA, liability can accrue for acts committed wholly abroad if some act in furtherance of the misappropriation occurred in the U.S. In the Motorola case, the marketing of the product at trade shows in the U.S. was a sufficient act in furtherance of the overseas misappropriation for a damages award including sales from around the world.
