law also provides that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court
proceeding, if the individual (I)&nbsp;files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (II)&nbsp;does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. See 18 U.S.C. &#167; 1833(b)(2). Nothing in this Agreement is intended
