The Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine: Inequitable Results are Threatened but Not Inevitable

Authors

Adam Gill

Abstract

Currently, courts have split on the issue of whether the inevitable disclosure doctrine ("IDD") applies in California. This note analyzes the IDD, its possible adoption in California, potential pitfalls, and ways to alleviate problems that may arise. Gill argues that the doctrine poses an obstacle to employee mobility and innovation, and proposes standards for applying the doctrine in California.
