Research on the Problems and Countermeasures of Trade Secret Protection in China

侵犯商业秘密行为是我国不正当竞争行为中的一种。然而，我国目前的商业秘密保护体系却还并不完善，仍然存在着认定要件过于繁琐、新增行为类型定义不够明确、举证责任分配不均衡等问题。正是因为这些问题的存在从而导致在司法实践当中商业秘密权利人无法得到法律的救济。因此，对商业秘密的法律保护体系进行完善具有一定的价值性和现实性。本文首先对商业秘密的理论基础进行论述，并分析了商业秘密保护的应然性。其次，又从2019年修订的《反不正当竞争法》的角度对商业秘密保护的社会现状和立法现状进行分析。再次，又提出了当前我国商业秘密保护面临的两大问题。最后，通过对商业秘密保护所存在的问题进行逐一分析，并提出了相应建议。Infringement of trade secrets is one of the acts of unfair competition in China.
