以知识产权管理体系保护企业商业秘密——兼论新《反不正当竞争法》相关要件修改

Protecting Commercial Secrets of Enterprises through Intellectual Property Management System——Concurrently Analyzing Amendment in the New Anti-Unfair Competition Law

商业秘密是企业在市场竞争中保持优势的重要因素,国际条约、双边协定以及美、英、德、日等国的法律法规,均强调对商业秘密的合理保护。我国判定商业秘密多依据《反不正当竞争法》,2018年生效的新《反不正当竞争法》对商业秘密的要件作出了一定修改,将"经济实用性"变更为"商业价值性",这种改变拓宽了商业秘密保护的范围。在此良好的立法趋势下,企业应紧跟法律潮流,主动根据法律规定界定商业秘密,并通过知识产权管理体系以及内联网、时间戳等先进技术维护自身合法权益。

Commercial secret is a vital factor for enterprises to hold on to their favourable positions.International treaties,bilateral agreements and national laws in America,England,Germany and Japan all emphasize the importance of protection on them.The new Anti-Unfair Competition Law,which came into effect in 2018,has made some changes in the elements of commercial secret,changing economic practicality into commercial value.Thus it actually broadens the protection scope of commercial secrets.In such a promising legislative trend,it is high time that enterprises redefine commercial secret according to the new laws and protect themselves by adopting intellectual property management system and enhance high technologies like intranet and timestamp.
