Employees keep the company's confidential information privately or even provide it to competitors, or take the company's secrets with them when they leave, set up a new company on their own, or join a rival camp. How should the company protect its rights and interests?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[# Lawyer Li Yusheng\u2019s legal knowledge]
Company information, whether paper, physical, or digital, as long as it meets the business secrets defined by the Trade Secrets Act, is classified as confidential information and is protected by the Trade Secrets Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25aaArticle 2 of the Trade Secrets Act
The so-called trade secrets refer to methods, technologies, processes, formulas, programs, designs or other information that can be used for production, sales or operations and meet the following requirements:
\u2611 Not known to those generally involved in this type of information.
\u2611 Those that have actual or potential economic value due to their confidentiality.
\u2611 The owner has taken reasonable confidentiality measures
What is often controversial in practice is whether the company has taken reasonable confidentiality measures to ensure the company's business secrets.
\u25aaIt is recommended that companies should pay attention to:
\u2611Sign appropriate confidentiality agreements with employees
\u2611Suggestions on company internal rules and confidentiality clauses
\u2611Regularly promote the importance of protecting confidential information
\u2611If employees want to resign, they need to be informed of their confidentiality obligations again
\u2611Keep digital confidential information in an appropriate manner
(For example, adding a password to the cloud database or restricting access to employees of specific departments, etc. If it is paper data, it must be kept in an appropriate manner)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25aaWhat can you do if business secrets are leaked?
Based on the actual situation, the person who leaked the secret can be charged with # criminal obstruction of secrets, etc., and whether to carry out # legal actions such as civil claims or even # false seizure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since once business secrets are leaked, it will be more difficult to deal with the aftermath, so it is recommended to discuss and evaluate response strategies with professional legal professionals immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
