Trade Secrets

Trade secrets are forms of intellectual property that protect confidential business information called "proprietary information," such as business plans, chemical formulas, and customer lists. The law of trade secrecy utilizing a non disclosure agreement discourages industrial espionage by punishing competitors' efforts to learn each other's proprietary information by improper means and by preventing employees from disclosing proprietary information when they change jobs.
