Practice · Trade Secret
Trade-secret protection and enforcement under Taiwan law.
Taiwan protects trade secrets through both civil and criminal routes, including specialized provisions for cross-border misappropriation. For foreign companies with operations, suppliers, or former employees in Taiwan, that combination is a decisive enforcement forum.
What we handle
- Trade-secret protection programs, confidentiality and non-compete structuring, and pre-litigation evidence preservation.
- Civil claims for misappropriation, including damages and injunctive relief.
- Criminal complaints under the Trade Secrets Act, including the enhanced penalties for offences involving use outside Taiwan.
- IPC Court proceedings, with evidence-preservation and confidentiality-preservation measures.
- Coordination with exposure under foreign regimes, including the US Defend Trade Secrets Act, through our network.
