Southern Bar-B-Q owns a special, secret recipe for the sauce which it guards because it gives the restaurant a competitive advantage. If Mort willfully misappropriates the recipe, a court may hold him liable to Southern for double damages. True or false?

True

Explanation:

This is the case of exposing the trade secret of a business. The word "may" has significant impact here as the court may or may not hold Mort liable(depending on the circumstances) since the trade secret isn't expressly protected by Southern Bar-B-Q albeit implied that an employee doesn't divulge the trade secret of the business which could bring damages to it.
