Confidential information or data that can be used in business activity, whether in industry, commerce or service provision (except those that are public knowledge), of restricted access and whose reserve provides a competitive advantage to its holders, can be considered a business secret.

 

In Brazil, those who disclose, exploit or use, without authorization, such information, obtained by illicit means or through fraud, commit a crime of unfair competition.

 

Our firm assists clients with guidance and strategic outlining on the subject, as well as training for teams, preparation and review of confidentiality agreements, and eventual measures to preserve the rights of the trade secret holder.
