(B) At the time of disclosure or use, knew or had reason to know
that his or her knowledge of the trade secret was:
(ii) Acquired under circumstances giving rise to a duty to
maintain its secrecy or limit its use;
also:
section 3426.1 (d)(1)(2)
(d) "Trade secret" means information, including a formula,
pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process,
that:
(1) Derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from

misappropriation are provable, the court may order payment of a
reasonable royalty for no longer than the period of time the use
could have been prohibited.
(c) If willful and malicious misappropriation exists, the court
may award exemplary damages in an amount not exceeding twice any
award made under subdivision (a) or (b).
