[§482B-4]  Damages.  (a)  Except to the
extent that a material and prejudicial change of position prior to acquiring
knowledge or reason to know of misappropriation renders a monetary recovery
inequitable, a complainant is entitled to recover damages for misappropriation. 
Damages can include both the actual loss caused by misappropriation and the
unjust enrichment caused by misappropriation that is not taken into account in
computing actual loss.  In lieu of damages measured by any other methods, the
damages caused by misappropriation may be measured by imposition of liability
for a reasonable royalty for a misappropriator's unauthorized disclosure or use
of a trade secret.



(b)  If wilful and malicious misappropriation
exists, the court may award exemplary damages in an amount not exceeding twice
any award made under subsection (a). [L 1989, c 221, pt of §1]
