Frequently Asked Questions
Trade secret protection in Latin America and the Caribbean is primarily governed by unfair competition laws and specific trade secret provisions in intellectual property statutes, consistent with TRIPS Agreement Article 39 requirements. Protection requires that the information is commercially valuable, not generally known, and subject to reasonable steps to keep it secret. Eproint advises on protection strategies including confidentiality agreements, internal policies, and enforcement measures.
Remedies vary by jurisdiction but generally include civil actions for damages and injunctive relief, and in some countries criminal penalties for unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets.
