Frequently Asked Questions
Is it illegal for a company to poach employees from its competitors?
Simply poaching employees is not necessarily illegal, but if it involves improperly obtaining trade secrets, customer information, technical documents, or violating non-compete agreements, it may result in civil and criminal liability.
What is the relationship between information security and trade secret protection?
If a company lacks the authority to control and access records, encryption, confidentiality agreements, and employee departure management, it will be more difficult to claim trade secret protection in the future.
How should a company handle a case where its trade secrets are searched?
The search area, seized materials, and case details should be confirmed first. Internal procedures and authority records should be preserved, and lawyers should be immediately assigned to assist with the investigation and subsequent defense.
