Protection of Trade Secrets
The protection of trade secrets, such as know-how and strategies, is governed by EU Directive 2016/943 and the Industrial Property Code. To be protected, they must be secret, have economic value, and be adequately safeguarded through concrete measures. Formal confidentiality is not enough: demonstrable technical and organizational controls (e.g., access controls, encryption, tracking) are required, in line with GDPR and NIS2. Case law requires actual evidence of the security measures adopted: in the absence of such evidence, protection is denied. The focus therefore shifts from the theft of data to the ability to demonstrate the protection implemented.
