familiarize the employee, against signature, with the trade secret regime established by the employer and measures of responsibility for its violation;

create the necessary conditions for the employee to comply with the trade secret regime established by the employer.

An employee's access to trade secrets is subject to his/her consent, unless it is provided for by his/her employment duties.

not to disclose trade secrets or use them for personal purposes without the employer's consent;

hand over to the employer upon termination of the labor agreement (contract) the material carriers of trade secrets in his possession or destroy or remove them from the said carriers under the control of the employer.

In order to ensure the protection of trade secrets, an employment agreement (contract) or civil law contract shall provide:

obligations of the employee and the employer, who is the owner of the trade secret or the confidant, to ensure protection of the trade secret;

the period during which, after termination of the employment agreement (contract) or civil law agreement, the former employee is obliged not to disclose trade secrets.

An employee shall have the right to appeal in court against the unlawful establishment of a trade secret regime to which he/she has gained access in connection with the performance of his/her duties provided for in an employment contract (contract) or civil law contract.
