Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trade secrets are confidential information that provides a competitive advantage to their owners. They should only be disclosed to employees who have a need to know and have signed a confidentiality agreement. Simply informing all employees that certain information is a trade secret does not necessarily protect it from being leaked or misused. It is important to limit access to trade secrets to those who genuinely require it to perform their duties.
