Page "Trade secret" Paragraph 32
from
Wikipedia
With sufficient effort or through illegal acts ( such as break and enter ), competitors can usually obtain trade secrets.
However, so long as the owner of the trade secret can prove that reasonable efforts have been made to keep the information confidential, the information remains a trade secret and generally remains legally protected.
Conversely, trade secret owners who cannot evidence reasonable efforts at protecting confidential information, risk losing the trade secret, even if the information is obtained by competitors illegally.
