知識經濟時代下，不同的智慧財產均有其獨特性與重要價值，且立於互補及無法替代之關係。然若從保護智慧財產、防止企業喪失競爭力角度而觀，營業秘密的重要性實遠超過於專利權或著作權，主要原因在於營業秘密可填補其他智慧財產類型之不足；同時營業秘密的特性是一經洩漏或遭竊取，其秘密性即立刻喪失且無法回復，加上營業秘密並不一定要附著於特定實體，保護上及遭侵害後的舉證更顯困難。
近年來因全球化及國際化發展、產業界之上下游整合及分工細密，企業間一方面呈現白熱化的競爭關係，另一方面彼此間之相互合作亦日趨緊密，技術及人員之移轉及交流趨於頻繁，致使營業秘密侵害情事，不論是在案件數目及複雜度、侵害範圍及頻率、影響層面與深度，均持續成長及增加，法律制度上如何強化營業秘密之保護，更顯重要。
因營業秘密洩漏而影響企業及國家之競爭力、衝擊技術創新、投資與經濟發展之情況，逐漸受到各國重視。我國於2013年初修正營業秘密法及增定刑事處罰、2014年6月於智慧財產案件審理法增定第10-1條營業秘密訴訟之訴訟協力義務規定，除此之外，美國及歐盟新近亦相繼提出增修法律議案，以制裁營業秘密侵害情事，尤其是來自於中國或其他新興國家之經濟間諜（economic espionage）問題。
本次研討會以營業秘密保護法制中較少為國人所探討之證據蒐集、保全及訴訟程序問題，進行深入討論，並邀請美、德、日與我國之學者與實務先進與會。

International Conference on Trade Secrets Protection and Litigation

In the era of knowledge economy, different intellectual property has its uniqueness and significant value that works in complementing and supporting one another. From the viewpoint that IP protection is necessarily required and made to prevent businesses’ loss in competitiveness, importance of trade secrets has been exceeding what we have seen in patent and copyright, provided that its function is to complement and provide a better and complete protection. Uniqueness of trade secrets is on its exceptional nature that it can loss its secrecy once it is disclosed or divulged that cannot be given back. This is in addition to the fact that trade secrets require no tangible medium to acquire protection. Proving trade secrets infringement and protecting its secrecy are therefore very likely difficult.
In recent years, as the result of globalization, industrial sectors including both upstream and downstream are seen thoroughly divided, their competitive relationship nowadays becomes lucid. Day by day, both of the sectors have been working even closer. Interaction and transfer of technology and personnel now tend to be more frequent than before. Undeniably, these raise some concerns with regard to trade secrets infringement, being observed through an increasing volume of litigation cases, level of its complexity and influence, frequency of violation, and also the scope of infringement that becomes broader. Thus, how one legal system can strengthen trade secrets protection in this era is becoming more important.
Because the divulgence or loss of trade secrets can in fact influence enterprises’ and nation’s competitiveness as well as their potentiality of creating innovative technology, gradually, many countries have then given more importance to the efficiency of their trade secrets laws. In Taiwan, the law was amended in 2013 to impose criminal liability to the infringement of trade secrets, followed by the latest amendment of the Intellectual Property Case Adjudication Act in June 2014 to add the provision of “specific defense” in Article 10-1. Recently, there were proposals being made in the US and EU to amend trade secrets laws to particularly handle with cases of economic espionage.
The conference is therefore organized and held to discuss on the issue of trade secrets protection and legal system in various jurisdictions, including the US, Germany, Japan, and Taiwan, and some potential difficulties in their litigation procedures in order to protect businesses from damages and infringement. Experiences can so learn from invited experts and practitioners.
