Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Calling the sky blue would not be protected under trade secret laws. For a company to have its resource qualify as a trade secret, the resource must provide the company with some type of competitive value or advantage. A trade secret can be protected by law if developing it requires special skill, ingenuity, and/or expenditure of money and effort. Thus, one cannot claim the sky being blue. A trade secret has no expiration date unless it no longer has economic benefit.
