Over a ten-year period, DKB Industries compiles a large database of actual and potential customers. DKB representatives visit trade shows, study industry publications, visit businesses, and take hundreds of people out for lunch, coffee, etc. The customer list is central to DKB's business; its sales force relies on it. The customer list exists on the computers of the salespeople and on many printed hard copies. When a salesperson leaves DKB, the list is deleted from her computer. But DKB makes no effort to keep track of paper copies, to restrict their distribution, or to prevent their copying. Nor does DKB require its employees to sign agreements limiting use of the customer lists. After an employee leaves to work for a competitor, DKB sues for trade secret infringement. What is the most likely result? Explain your answer in detail.
