Secrets D'Affaires: L'Urgente Nécessité D'Adopter Une Directive Face A L'Inefficacité De L'Application De L'Accord Sur Les Adpic, Luis González Vaqué

Luis González Vaqué

In November 2013, the Commission proposed a draft directive that will align existing laws against the misappropriation of trade secrets across the EU.

It also defines the relevant forms of misappropriation and clarifies that reverse engineering and parallel innovation must be guaranteed, given that trade secrets are not a form of exclusive intellectual property …
