Every business has some unique selling propositions (USP) as the foundation stone to start, operate and compete in the market.
When that USP is analogous to a pattern, formula compilation, programme, device, method, technique, or process having independent economic value, it is termed as a trade secret.
The above is a conjecture and not a definition.
A trade secret can take any form with the essential parameter of having a commercial value in the eyes of the business competitors.
As the trade secret or confidential information continuously drives the business, therefore a policy formulation to safeguard it becomes imperative to prevent misuse, loss or theft.
