A trade secret is best defined as valuable business information that is generally preserved with high confidentiality. Trade secrets may be used in businesses and are usually helpful for competitive business related matters. Unlike copyrights, trademarks, and patents, which are usually disclosed to public as a crucial condition to granting protection, trade secrets lose their worth if they are disclosed to anyone, or in public. The value of trade secrets generally depends on taking reasonable precautionary measures to maintain secrecy and confidentiality.The laws designed to protect trade secrets can help a company protect economically valuable procedures and techniques from third-party exploitation. There are different parameters of trade secrets as well as competition, which interests technology, media, and entrepreneurial clients.
