Strengthened protection for trade secrets

Since the entry into force of the Act for the Protection of Trade Secrets almost 20 years ago, the conditions for running businesses have changed in many ways. While today many companies are more dependent on information and knowledge than on industrial production, modern techniques have made it easier to store and transfer information. Hence, trade secrets are in the risk zone. Because of these circumstances, as well as a number of international commitments made by Sweden concerning the protection of business secrets, the government appointed an inquiry to review certain issues regarding the protection of trade secrets and to consider whether the act should be amended to fulfil the needs of modern businesses more effectively. The inquiry delivered its report on 9th June 2008 and this article looks at the amended suggestions therein.
