How to determine whether to disclose company secrets?

The act of revealing company secrets is identified as follows: 1. Obtaining the business secrets of the obligee by theft, inducement, coercion or other improper means; 2. Disclosing, using or allowing others to use the business secrets of the obligee obtained by means of the preceding paragraph; 3. To disclose, use or allow others to use the business secrets in their possession in violation of the agreement or the requirements of the obligee to keep the business secrets; 4, knowing or should know the illegal acts listed in the preceding paragraph, and obtain, use or disclose other people's business secrets. The characteristics of trade secrets are: 1. The premise of trade secrets is that they are not known to the public, while intellectual property rights are all open, and even patent rights should be made public to a considerable extent; 2. Trade secret is a relative right. The exclusiveness of trade secrets is not absolute or exclusive. If the other party obtains the trade secrets of the same content in a legal way, the other party has the same status as the first person. The owner of a trade secret cannot prevent the person who developed and mastered the information from using or transferring the information; 3. It can make operators gain benefits, gain competitive advantages, or have potential commercial benefits; 4. The protection period of trade secrets is not legal, it depends on the confidentiality measures of the obligee and the disclosure of secrets by others. A technical secret may last for a long time because of the effective security measures of the right holder and the application value of the technology itself, far exceeding the protection period of the patented technology.
