Trade Secrets

While not a form of property in the sense of a patent or industrial design registration, the law can assist companies who wish to maintain trade secrets and confidential information. This is primarily done by creating contractual obligations to bind anyone to whom you disclose your trade secret or confidential information to secrecy and limits on the use of the information.
