A big change happened in 2020, making enforcement by trade secret owners much easier.
2020 年 I Admin Pte.Ltd. V. Hong Ying Ting et al.诉 Hong Ying Ting 等人案(SGCA 32)简化了商业秘密所有人(原告)的举证责任。以前,原告必须证明未经授权使用被盗用的信息是有害的。
This was often quite challenging to do, and the use may not happen until sometime after the misappropriation took place.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][us_image image=”325″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]With the I Admin case, a rebuttable presumption of breach of confidence is created upon showing that the information was confidential, and that it was provided under a duty of confidentiality or that it was acquired without plaintiff’s consent or knowledge. Basically, the plaintiff does not have to wait until damage has been done by use of the information.
