What is the statute of limitations for a breach of confidence action?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Gary Hoffman Productions, Inc v. Fox Television Studios, Inc., B229149 (Cal. App. 2012):

action. . . . [The] present cause of action for breach of confidence arises upon defendant's unauthorized disclosure of the confidential idea. . . . The first unauthorized disclosure . . . occurred before November 11, 1955; thus the statute of limitations on plaintiff's cause of action for breach of confidence began to run not later than that date.' ([Davies v. Krasna, supra, 14 Cal.3d] at pp. 511-512; citations and fn. omitted.)
