Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 1333.63, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 1333.63.
(A) Except to the extent that a material and prejudicial change of position prior to
acquiring knowledge or reason to know of misappropriation renders a monetary recovery
inequitable, a complainant in a civil action is entitled to recover damages for misappropriation. Damages may include both the actual loss caused by misappropriation and the unjust
enrichment caused by misappropriation that is not taken into account in computing
actual loss. In lieu of damages measured by any other methods, the damages caused by misappropriation
may be measured by imposition of liability for a reasonable royalty that is equitable
under the circumstances considering the loss to the complainant, the benefit to the
misappropriator, or both, for a misappropriator's unauthorized disclosure or use of
a trade secret. (B) If willful and malicious misappropriation exists, the court may award punitive or
exemplary damages in an amount not exceeding three times any award made under division
(A) of this section.
