Trade Secrets

A trade secret can be any type of information that a business “derives independent economic value” from. This may include:

  • Programs;

  • Codes;

  • Devices;

  • Methods/Techniques;

  • Procedures;

  • Financial Data (i.e., pricing); and

  • List of Actual or Potential Customers or Suppliers

  • Formulas;

  • Designs;

  • Prototypes;

  • Patterns;

  • Plans;

  • Compilations;

  • Processes;

In order to protect these trade secrets, businesses must take steps to ensure that this information is kept secret.
