司法实践中的技术秘密点认定方法

Methods of Technical Trade Secret Point Determination in Judicial Practice

在侵犯商业秘密的技术案件中,秘密点的举证与确定是最为关键的一环。基于现有规范中秘密点尚无准确定义的现状,本文提出应当以“不为公众所知悉”的技术信息为基础确定秘密点。基于技术秘密案件与专利案件保护对象的相似性,本文对比了秘密点确定与专利法中技术方案及技术特征的异同,提出应当在司法实践中引入诉讼协商机制,以便更有效率、更准确的完成技术秘密点认定。

In cases of infringement of technical trade secrets, the evidence and determination of the secret point is the most critical link. Based on the status quo that there is no precise definition of secret point in the existing standards, this paper proposes that the secret point should be determined based on the technical information that is “not known to the public”. Based on the similarity between technical secret cases and patent cases, this paper compares the similarities and differences between secret points and technical programs and technical features in patent law, and proposes the introduction of a litigation negotiation mechanism in judicial practice to complete the determination of technical secret points more efficiently and accurately.
