Bill introduced to clarify trade secret act

That issue was raised by Eaton Aerospace of Jackson in its lawsuit against North Carolina-based Frisby Aerospace.

Eaton had claimed that six former employees took with them to Frisby a computer database that contained Eaton trade secrets.

Eaton has filed an appeal with the Mississippi Supreme Court.
