All trade secrets are confidential information, but not all confidential information are trade secrets. It\u2019s like trade secrets are an elevated subset of confidential information.<\/p>\n

Huh???<\/p>\n

Confidential information is just that, secret information. It could be highly valuable or have low value. It\u2019s 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]<\/p>\n

Trade Secrets Defined<\/h2>\n

Trade secrets, on the other hand, are more narrowly defined. If you look at any statute or litigation case, you always see an official three-part definition.<\/p>\n

Trade secrets are<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. not generally known (secret);<\/li>\n
  2. have value because of their secrecy; and<\/li>\n
  3. the owner has taken \u201creasonable measures\u201d to protect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You\u2019ll notice that there\u2019s nothing about registering with the government, and \u201creasonable measures\u201d is not clearly defined. These two things make trade secrets more interesting and also more challenging.<\/p>\n

    You\u2019ll also notice that the three-part definition is super broad. Trade secrets can be related to technology (what patents also cover), but also include a wide array of business secrets like pricing models, M&A strategy, compensation plans, and QC\/QA parameters. The scope of trade secrets is much broader than patents!<\/p>\n
