The required notice must: advise employees that they are immune from criminal and civil liability under any Federal or State trade secret law for disclosure of a trade secret that:
- is made in confidence to a Federal, State or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law;
- is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal; or
- is made to an attorney in a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Alternatively, if the employer does not wish to provide this notice in the contract or agreement itself, it can be set forth in an employer policy that is cross-referenced in the agreement.
