Accordingly, a trade secret exists if the information: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>is not generally known or readily accessible, either as a whole or in the precise arrangement and composition of its components, to persons within the circles that normally deal with this type of information and is therefore of commercial value, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>is the subject of confidentiality measures appropriate to the circumstances by its legitimate owner, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>for which there is a legitimate interest in confidentiality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bedeutung-fur-die-praxis\">Significance for practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It follows from the legal requirements that companies must demonstrate appropriate confidentiality measures in the event of a dispute in order to protect trade secrets. Comprehensive protection concepts in technical, legal and organizational terms have proven their worth in this regard <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns v4-pattern-text-copy-half-col is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Contractual safeguards in the form of<strong> confidentiality agreements<\/strong>, also known as <strong>NDAs (non-disclosure agreements)<\/strong> or<strong> CDAs (confidential disclosure agreements)<\/strong>, are a key component of this. It is important that confidentiality measures and their appropriateness must be documented in the event of a dispute in order to avoid the risk of losing your own trade secrets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are
