The very next day, the US Chamber of Commerce sued the FTC, alleging that the FTC exceeded the scope of its rulemaking powers. This battle will be interesting to watch!

对于保护商业秘密的重要性而言,对竞业禁止的任何限制实际上都是积极的。竞业禁止旨在防止雇员从一家公司流向竞争对手。它们可以保护商业秘密,但只是间接保护,因为商业秘密很难在不被雇员携带的情况下转移。

商业秘密法,如 DTSA(联邦)和 UTSA(州),为商业秘密提供直接保护。此外,商业秘密还可以在国际贸易委员会(ITC)上强制执行,以防止利用窃取的商业秘密开发的产品进口到美国。此外,商业秘密所有者还可以要求司法部和联邦调查局对商业秘密盗窃行为展开刑事调查,尤其是涉及国际当事人和国家重大利益技术的盗窃行为。

商业秘密在行业中不断受到关注和牵引。对于这种日益宝贵的知识产权形式来说,2024 年将是一个有趣的开端。
