Confidential Trade Secrets

We have a number of Confidential Trade Secrets protected by law for eternity and globally. This is in contrast to patents where the patent holder divulges the IP and protection is time limited.

For more on trade secrets, see USPTO and WIPO. The WIPO site also shows that all countries except one.

There is no symbol for trade secrets because it is a management practice, not a filing. Part of this management practice is to clearly mark trade secrets, which we do here (and in other places) as CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY, TRADE SECRET, or similar. We usually use TRADE SECRET.

What Are Trade Secrets

According to USPTO:

A trade secret is information that:
1 Has actual or potential independent economic value because it is generally unknown to others
2 Is valuable to others who can’t legitimately obtain the information, and
3 Is maintained as secret through reasonable efforts taken by the trade secret owner.
Examples include Coca-Cola and New York Times Bestseller List.
