OVERVIEW OF TRADE SECRETS
Trade secrets are intellectual property your company owns but are not available to the public. This proprietary information may include formulas, designs, practices, systems, or any other confidential information that provides economic value to your company. Because this information is not available to the public, it allows you to offer exclusive benefits to your customers that your competitors cannot.
