Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The law that applies to trade secrets states that the conduct is actionable if the party using the trade secret does not have permission from the owner. Therefore, if 4C obtained and used the customer list without permission from 3S, their conduct is actionable. The other options (A, B, and C) do not necessarily apply to this situation.
