Your dear friend Nicole owns a bakery. Unfortunately, one day she was served with a complaint for trade secret infringement.

When Nicole was just learning to bake, she completed an apprenticeship at a fancy New York City bakery called Pain, Pain. Pain, Pain had many secret recipes to bake cookies, breads, and croissants. Nicole learned the intricacies of these recipes and uses versions of them in her store$-$they are, however, not exact copies.

Using your understanding of civil procedure, help Nicole fiqure out what to do$.$

Maybe, if the court finds out that you stole, then the judge could put you in jail.

No$,$ no$.$ This isn't a criminal matter.
