ABSTRACT

The determination of "corresponding confidentiality measures" in trade secret disputes is a difficult issue in judicial practice, and different courts have inconsistent approaches to it. By analyzing relevant cases and combining with the amendment of Article 32 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, this paper argues that the determination of corresponding confidentiality measures can be made from the perspectives of effectiveness, identifiability, and appropriateness, while considering the nature of the carrier and the subjective will of the right holder.
