All trade secrets are confidential information, but not all confidential information are trade secrets. It’s like trade secrets are an elevated subset of confidential information.
嗯？
Confidential information is just that, secret information. It could be highly valuable or have low value. It’s just a secret.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][us_image image=”1192″ link=”%7B%22url%22%3A%22%22%7D”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]
商业秘密的定义
另一方面，商业秘密的定义更为狭窄。如果你查阅任何法规或诉讼案例，你总会看到一个由三部分组成的官方定义。
商业秘密是
- 不为人知（秘密）；
- 因其保密性而具有价值；以及
- 所有者已采取 "合理措施 "加以保护。
你会注意到，其中没有关于向政府注册的内容，也没有明确定义 "合理措施"。这两点使商业秘密变得更加有趣，也更具挑战性。
你还会注意到，这三个部分的定义非常宽泛。商业秘密可以与技术有关（专利也包括在内），但也包括定价模式、并购战略、薪酬计划和质量控制/质量保证参数等一系列商业秘密。商业秘密的范围比专利广泛得多！
