549	68	IV. Damages Not Duplicative	TUTSA expressly authorizes recovery of 'both the actual loss caused by misappropriation and the unjust enrichment caused by misappropriation that is not taken into account in computing actual loss' (§ 134A.004(a)). Jury instructed not to double-compensate. Market value compensated forward loss (destruction/lessening of trade secret value); development costs compensated past unjust enrichment (avoided costs). Unjust enrichment is equitable remedy that disgorges gains rather than compensating loss — cannot be duplicative of actual loss (Nguyen v. Watts, Villarreal).
