Full text of Nevada Nevada Revised Statutes § 600A.050 — Misappropriation: Damages, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 600A.050. Misappropriation: Damages
1. Except to the extent that a material and prejudicial change of position before
acquiring knowledge or reason to know of misappropriation renders a monetary recovery
inequitable, a complainant is entitled to recover damages for misappropriation. Damages include both loss caused by misappropriation and unjust enrichment caused
by misappropriation that is not taken into account in computing the loss. In lieu of damages measured by any other methods, damages caused by misappropriation
may be measured by imposition of liability for a reasonable royalty for a misappropriator's
unauthorized disclosure or use of a trade secret. 2. If willful, wanton or reckless misappropriation or disregard of the rights of the
owner of the trade secret exists, the court may award exemplary damages in an amount
not exceeding twice the award made under subsection 1.
