美国商业秘密诉讼中合理保密措施的司法判断

Judicial Judgment on Reasonable Measures to Keep Secret in US Trade Secret Lawsuit

在美国,合理保密措施的判断是处理商业秘密案件时必须要分析和解决的问题,并且关系到判断原告所主张的商业秘密是否存在。建议参考美国的司法实践,借鉴侵权法中的合理第三人注意义务制度,形成保密措施合理性判断的一般原则。

When the US courts handle the cases relating to trade secret,reasonable measures to keep secret should be considered and determined, and whether reasonable measures exist is a threshold issue. The paper suggests forming the general principle in judging whether the measures to keep secret are reasonable by borrowing from Tort Law＇s reasonable third-party＇s duty of care, which is prevalent in US judicial practices.
