This book consists of five parts. Part One contains an overview of the historical evolution of trade secret protection in China, describes the present situation and the future trend in the science of trade secret law in China, and draws a clear picture of the development track and of the basic framework of China's current trade secret laws by summarising present research achievements within academic circles. Part Two looks at the legal frameworkfor the protection of trade secrets, and addresses core issues such as legal definitions and constitutive elements of trade secrets, as well as the differences between trade secrets and other forms of intellectual property in chinese law. Part Three is devoted to determining what constitutes infringement of a trade secret and contains an introduction to the theoretical foundation for a system of legal protection in the view of chinese scholars of jurisprudence. Part Four includes labour force allocation and the marketisation of labour forces, and the conflict between rights and private interests and the public interest in trade secret protection. In Part Five, developing trends in global trade secret protection legislation and judicial practice are taken into consideration in an effort to propose an effective means for raising the level of trade secret protection and for perfecting mechanisms for the implementation of trade secret law in China.
