Full text of Nevada Nevada Revised Statutes § 600A.040 — Actual or threatened misappropriation: Injunctive relief, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 600A.040. Actual or threatened misappropriation: Injunctive relief
1. Actual or threatened misappropriation may be enjoined. Upon application to the court, an injunction must be terminated when the trade secret
has ceased to exist, but the injunction may be continued for an additional reasonable
period of time to eliminate commercial or other advantage that otherwise would be
derived from the misappropriation. 2. In exceptional circumstances, an injunction may condition future use upon payment
of a reasonable royalty for no longer than the period of time for which use could
have been prohibited. Exceptional circumstances include a material and prejudicial change of position
before acquiring knowledge or reason to know of misappropriation that renders a prohibitive
injunction inequitable. 3. In appropriate circumstances, the court may order affirmative acts to protect a
trade secret. As used in this subsection, “affirmative acts” includes, without limitation, issuing
an injunction or order requiring that a trade secret which has been misappropriated
and posted, displayed or otherwise disseminated on the Internet be removed from the
Internet immediately.
