谁能想到龙虾陷阱会捕获商业机密呢?

缅因州要求联邦注册的龙虾船使用全天候跟踪船只位置的装置。缅因州表示,跟踪数据将使他们能够更好地监控渔业,并跟踪与鲸鱼的互动。有趣的是,规定要求即使龙虾船被用于其他目的或只是静止在水中,也要运行跟踪装置。

五名龙虾养殖者在缅因州地方法院起诉了州政府机构。原告认为,龙虾诱捕器的行驶路线和放置位置具有重要的经济价值,而且几代人都严加保护。

他们还指控违反了第四和第十四修正案,侵犯了隐私权,而且州政府没有提供任何信息将受到保护的保证。

这场官司的进展将会很有趣。商业秘密的三部分测试似乎适用于龙虾捕获器的位置--不广为人知、因秘密而具有价值、所有者已采取合理措施加以保护。本案的另一个有趣之处在于,要求提供商业秘密信息的是政府机构,而不是盗用信息的竞争对手公司。
