商业秘密权益的客体与侵权判定

Object of Trade Secrets and Its Infringement Determination

商业秘密制度的保护客体是信息的秘密性及基于此而产生的竞争优势,这意味着其作为产权的内容和边界无法界定,因此,商业秘密侵权案件审理的核心在于判断是否存在盗取、非法披露或使用商业秘密的行为。保密商务信息与商业秘密区别甚微,《反不正当竞争法》具有足够的弹性对其进行保护。商业秘密案件侵权判定不同于专利侵权之技术比对,是否实质相同的审查只是侵权行为成立的证明途径。

The subject matter of trade secrets should be the secrecy of information and the competitive advantage based on it,which also means that the content and boundary of trade secret as property rights cannot be defined.Therefore,the core of the trial of trade secrets infringement cases lies in judging whether there is any act of stealing,illegally disclosing or using.Confidentiality and value are the explicit elements,while secrecy is the implicit element,Confidential business information is little different from trade secrets in terms of elements,and the Anti-Unfair Competition Law is flexible enough to protect socalled confidential business information.The trial of trade secret cases is different from the technical comparison of patent infringement,except that when lacking direct evidence to prove the defendant’s infringement,the examination of whether the information is substantially the same is only an indirect way to prove the infringement.
