我们经常会想到商业秘密所有者会因商业秘密被盗而受到伤害,这也是理所当然的。 为了创造有价值的商业秘密,所有者投入了时间、金钱、精力和其他资源。

好吧,到目前为止没有什么令人惊讶的。

托马斯-科尔森最近在 LinkedIn 上发表的一篇文章 Tangibly 完全同意),但有一个词触动了我的神经:免费!

商业秘密最常见的情况是被(前)雇员窃取到竞争公司或雇员自己建立了竞争企业。 当然,这种窃取行为是未经授权的。

但让我们看看竞争公司--他们免费获得了宝贵的商业秘密! 他们基本上得到了圣诞老人的礼物(尽管他们可以说是在 "淘气名单 "上):

投入的资金: 无

投入时间:无

熬夜在实验室里让程序运行:无

花几个小时建立客户关系列表:无

对供应商进行小时数比较,并为输入材料和成品建立质量控制/质量保证参数: 无

注意到主题了吗?

在圣诞故事中,只有好孩子才能得到礼物。通过部署商业秘密管理计划并遵循 Tangibly 的五项最佳实践,您将确保您的竞争对手不会在这个节日得到免费礼物。
