The brochure primarily targets entrepreneurs and founders, as well as in-house and legal counsel. Companies generate vast amounts of knowledge and expertise daily. Until the Trade Secrets Act, this knowledge was inadequately protected. The new Trade Secrets Act, which will come into effect this fall, aims to prevent and combat the leakage of critical business knowledge. A variety of measures for protecting secrets must be implemented. Even small businesses or start-ups should take steps to protect their secrets. To ensure the protection of trade secrets, extensive protective measures must be taken. The brochure clearly and understandably outlines the legal foundations of the new Trade Secrets Act for the layperson. It addresses questions such as:

• What is a trade secret?
• How can know-how be protected within a company?
• How can claims under the Trade Secrets Act be enforced pre-litigation and in court?
• What specific issues arise in labor law?

In particular, the brochure includes templates and checklists for the following questions:

• How is a protection concept structured?
• What agreements can be made with cooperation partners?
• What clauses should be included in the employment contract?
