Trade Secrets

  • Trade secrets covers information that is only known to a few people and where disclosure to others would constitute a breach of confidence (e.g. formula for Coca-Cola)
  • Many businesses have "trade secrets" but may not always recognise the fact
  • They can be a valuable type of IP and protection for trade secrets arises from the law of confidentiality
