inevitable-discovery rule<\/span>:<\/span>
\n<\/strong>(1963)<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Criminal procedure<\/em>. The rule that evidence obtained indirectly from an illegal search is admissible, and the illegality of the search is harmless, if the evidence would have been obtained nevertheless in the ordinary course of police work.\u00a0 *\u00a0 The rule is an exception to the fruit-of-the-poisonous-tree doctrine. \u00a0 The prosecution bears the burden of establishing the inevitability of the discovery.\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 aka inevitable-discovery doctrine<\/strong><\/em><\/span>; inevitable-disclosure doctrine<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. [1]
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. The fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine does not bar the introduction into evidence of facts obtained by a search that violates the Fourth Amendment, or a confession secured in violation of the Sixth Amendment, fi the facts would have been discovered whether or not the illegal conduct occurred.<\/strong> [2]<\/span><\/p>\n

primary-evidence rule<\/a><\/span>\u00a0– when evidence sought in an illegal search is seized during that search, the inevitable-discovery doctrine does not apply.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

inevitable discovery doctrine<\/span>:<\/span>
\n<\/strong>(second definition)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Trade secrets<\/em>. The legal theory that a key employee, once hired by a competitor, cannot avoid misappropriating the former employer’s trade secrets.\u00a0 *\u00a0 To justify an injunction, the plaintiff must prove that the former employee has confidential information and will not be able to avoid using that knowledge to unfairly compete against the plaintiff.\u00a0 Mose courts have rejected this controversial doctrine on grounds that it effectively turns a nondisclosure agreement into a disfavored non-competition agreement.\u00a0 The leading case upholding the doctrine is Pepsico, Inc. v Redmond<\/em>, 54 F.3d 1262 (7th Cir. 1995)<\/span>, where the court quipped, “PepsiCo finds itself in the position of a coach, one of whose players has left, playbook in hand, to join the opposing team before the big game.<\/span>” <\/strong>\u2014 aka inevitable-disclosure rule<\/strong><\/em><\/span>; inevitability doctrine<\/strong><\/em><\/span>; inevitable-misappropriation doctrine<\/strong><\/em><\/span>.
