Trade Secrets
A trade secret is any information that derives
value from being not generally known or readily ascertainable, and
is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the
circumstances to maintain its secrecy. In business, information
generally has value, so almost any business information which is kept secret is a "trade
secret".
Proper business strategies for trade secrets involve
(a) making sure to keep the secrets; and (b) avoiding use of the
trade secrets of others.
