Google has a "top secret" plan to revamp its search engine results and rankings. It has disclosed the information to five people in the Marketing Division of the company and to ten people in the New Products and Engineering Division of the company. Discuss whether this disclosure destroys the trade secret status of the information.?

What will be an ideal response?


This limited disclosure would likely be permissible. The Marketing and New Products and Engineering Divisions likely need to know this information to do their jobs (plan marketing materials, plan the launch of the new platform). Thus, this limited disclosure should not preclude the information from trade secret protection.?
