The great virtue of this work is found in its excellent structure.
The first part provides a neat introductory road map for
fundamental trade secrets concepts, then considers the TRIPS
obligation, the trade secret law of the United States with well
explained sections on trade secrets in business transactions,
employment relations, enforcement and litigation, government
secrets and data exclusivity. The second part provides country
overviews with sections for common law and civil law countries and
the appendices examine aspects of the proposed EU Directive. This
is a comprehensive, sensible, practical, intelligently balanced,
thoroughly researched and well written work that will be of real
value to anyone interested in this increasingly important area of
commercial law.' - Ping Xiong, University of South Australia'This
book makes a remarkable contribution to the understanding of the
legal foundations and main features of trade secret law in several
jurisdictions. It also provides useful guidance to deal with
practical issues concerning trade secrets protection. While
carefully addressing the balance between the protection of private
interests and the principles of free competition, the book examines
recent initiatives to fight cyber-espionage and their implications
for the configuration of trade secrets law, the enforcement of
rights and professional practice.' - Carlos M. Correa, University
of Buenos Aires, Argentina Trade secret protection has long been of
critical strategic importance to business interests and
globalization of commerce has driven an increasing need to govern
the preservation of confidentiality in international business
transactions. This book offers an authoritative and unparalleled
resource on US and international trade secret law and identifies
optimal practices for securing trade secrets in varying
jurisdictions. Defined as the international standard for trade
secret protection, the United States' trade secret laws are
explained in depth, illustrating their capacity and impediments.
The proposed EU Trade Secret Directive and the impact this will
have on international transactions is also closely examined, along
with overviews of the laws in common law, civil law and mixed-law
countries. The book combines detailed substantive analysis with
clear practical guidance on questions such as how businesses can
avoid misappropriation and maintain data exclusivity when engaging
in global commerce, through the utilization of alternative
self-help strategies. Key features: - Presents a roadmap for
understanding trade secrets, including requirements for, defences
to, and remedies. - Covers both business-to-business and employment
relationships. - Authoritative commentary on US and EU trade
secrecy laws in addition to coverage of the UK, India, China,
Mexico, Brazil, Canada and Japan. - Dependable analysis from two
leading scholars in the field. - Practical advice on overcoming the
challenges businesses face when engaging in international
transactions, including strategies for avoiding misappropriation. -
Clear guidance on enforcement mechanisms and litigation procedure.
This well-organized reference work will benefit legal practitioners
in the commercial field across many jurisdictions, particularly
those advising on business transactions or implementing protection
strategies for trade information. Policymakers will find the
definition of trade secret law characteristics for multiple
countries, alongside the consideration of the proposed EU Trade
Secret Directive, pragmatic and informative.
