論企業之營業秘密管理-以保密義務及競業禁止義務為中心

Abstract

企業的營業秘密可以幫助企業在競爭市場中獲得優勢的地位，惟前提係企業必須妥善保護其所有的營業秘密。依照營業秘密法的規定，營業秘密的要件須具備秘密性、經濟性以及所有人採取合理的保密措施，符合前述要件後，始能稱為營業秘密。而近年來，企業的營業秘密卻倍受威脅，這些威脅並非直接來自競爭對手，而係來自自身的員工，員工違反保密義務或競業禁止義務，都使得企業的營業秘密受到極大的損失。 故如何就員工保密義務以及競業禁止義務之角度來妥善管理企業的營業秘密，實為企業在經營上必須學習的課題。從人力資源管理與勞動契約之營業秘密的管理與保護以及最後營業秘密事件發生後企業可能採取的救濟方法以及實務的發展等對於企業的營業秘密管理皆不可或缺，實有研究及探討之必要。
