“Uniform Trade Secrets Act” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Trade_Secrets_Act

Edit: My (possibly incorrect) understanding is that rather than having a blanket “everything is our secret” kind of contracts like we have now, the act requires the company to specify what they have that they consider a secret, and to show that they take steps to protect those secrets above and beyond regular day-to-day information exchange within their company.

For example, a list of customers would have to be explicitly identified as “secret”, and handled more carefully.
