Article 8: Establishment of a trade secret regime

The trade secret regime is established by the owner of the trade secret. Establishment of the trade secret regime may be entrusted on a contractual basis to the confidant.

The owner of a trade secret independently determines the introduction and removal of the "trade secret" label, the conditions of acquisition, use and disclosure of the trade secret, the means of its protection, and the choice of means of transferring the trade secret.

The trade secret regime shall be deemed established after the owner of the trade secret or the confidant has taken the measures provided for in Article 10 of this Law.

The regime of trade secrecy may not be used for purposes that contradict the requirements of protecting the foundations of the constitutional system of the country, ensuring the defense and security of the state, morality, health of citizens, rights and legitimate interests of other persons.

The inclusion of confidentiality clauses in civil law contracts is a prerequisite for establishing a trade secret regime.
