What will be an ideal response?
?A trade secret is a business process or information that makes an individual company unique and that would be of value to a competitor. Trade secrets include customer lists, plans, research and development, pricing information, marketing techniques, and production techniques. The duration of protection of a trade secret is unlimited, as long as it is not revealed to others. Once revealed to others, it is no longer a trade secret. Businesses generally attempt to protect their trade secrets by having all employees who use the process or information agree in their contracts, or in confidentiality agreements, never to divulge it.
