Abstract

Trade secrets are information in the technology and/or business sectors that is not
publicly known, has economic value, and is kept confidential by its owner. In the
technology industry, trade secrets play a crucial role in driving innovation and product
development. Protecting strategic information such as formulas, designs, algorithms,
and production methods enables companies to maintain a competitive advantage amidst
increasingly dynamic market competition. This study highlights the impact of trade
secret protection on the sustainability of innovation and product development
processes, while also emphasizing the importance of effective legal mechanisms to
safeguard high-value information to drive sustainable growth in the technology
industry.
