WISECODE Take
On September 29, 2026, the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office (TIPO) released judicial case analyses on trade secret infringement. Many business owners mistakenly believe that leak prevention is merely an IT technical issue. In our view, the core value of the Trade Secret Protection Practical Guidebook 3.0, co-authored with the Taiwan Trade Secrets Protection Association, is highlighting that leaks stem from management rather than technical loopholes. The cases involving employees altering confidentiality levels and contractors copying process parameters prove that access control is the weakest link. For business owners, managing trade secrets is like risk control in financial investments; without proper access classification, security budgets are wasted. If your company lacks proprietary tech or client lists, this won't affect you; otherwise, IP Classic can assist in establishing trade secret management systems. We recommend two actions. First, use the official checklist to audit the deletion process of former employees' accounts. Second, review internal file classifications to prevent employees from easily downgrading confidential files to general status for email transmission.
