Abstract
A trade secret is information that has commercial value to an organization due to its secrecy, is not known outside of the organization, and the continuing secrecy of which the organization has taken reasonable measures to protect. Trade secrets may include information embodied in documents, electronic records, products and other media, as well as information known to individuals. The EU and some other jurisdictions exclude from the definition of trade secrets trivial information or experience/skills gained by employees during the normal course of their employment and information that is generally known among, or is readily accessible to, persons within the circles that normally deal with the kind of information in question.
