The Trade Secrets Act provides a framework for the effective protection of trade secrets. According to the Act, a trade secret is classified as information that is not commonly known or easily accessible to those involved in similar details. It can also pertain to someone's business or professional matters and, if disclosed, would negatively impact their lawful activities. Additionally, a trade secret holds commercial value due to its confidentiality and exclusivity. If a trade secret is acquired, used, or disclosed by a person without the authority of the owner of the trade secret, the owner has the right to apply to the Court for a declaration that the trade secret has been acquired, used, or disclosed without authority. The Court may grant an injunction preventing anyone from dealing with, or otherwise using, the secret in a commercial way; and if it is satisfied that the owner has suffered damage because of the unauthorised disclosure—award damages to the owner.
