However, in the most countries the commercial secret has proper legal protection, nowadays in Ukraine there is no effective mechanism to protect information that is considered as commercial secret. Moreover, the Draft of the Law «On Commercial Secret» has not been adopted yet in its final version. The effective legislation of Ukraine does not contain unified definition of the commercial secret concept. Thus, it is important to provide legislative guarantees to protect the proprietary rights to information with the limited access that is considered as commercial secret, to create necessary conditions for its owners to preserve and establish a liability for its disclosure.</p> ER -
