Here is the question: Topics: Trade secret

If my husband develops a trade secret for his company and then dies and I find a copy of the secret in his laptop, may I disclose it to the world? I never signed a non-disclosure agreement.

This question comes from a dispute between Pepsico and the heirs of the creator of the recipe for Pepsi.
