企业“数据池”的商业秘密保护路径探究

The exploration of trade secrets protection path of corporation data pool

“数据池”是数据生产要素的重要表现形式,对促进数字经济发展、推动产业转型具有积极作用。但我国目前缺乏数据权利基础制度,著作权法和数据共享协议都未能对数据池提供全面的法律保护。此种情况下,可以通过商业秘密相关法律规范对数据池予以保护,但数据池必须满足商业秘密的秘密性、价值性和保密措施构成要件。在分析数据池秘密性构成要件时,应当重点认识公开信息形成的新信息可以具有秘密性,企业间数据池共享的行为也不会使其丧失秘密性。

Data pool is an important manifestation of data production elements,which plays a positive role in promoting the development of the digital economy and industrial transformation.However,China currently lacks a basic data rights system,and neither copyright law nor data sharing agreements provide comprehensive legal protection for data pools.Under such circumstances,data pools can be protected through the legal regulation of trade secrets,but the relevant data pools must meet the constitutive elements of secrecy,value,and confidentiality measures of trade secrets.When analyzing the elements of secrecy of data pools,we should focus on recognizing that the new information formed from public information may have secrecy,and the act of sharing the data pool between enterprises does not make it lose its secrecy.
