Коммерческая тайна в Республике Молдова: актуальные аспекты правового регулирования [Articol]

Abstract

Trade secret is one of the most important mechanisms for protecting the fundamental interests of businessmen. The rapid development of information and communication technologies increases the risks regarding the protection of trade secrets. There is no doubt that an adequate and sufficient mechanism for the protection of trade secrets is necessary. In order to strengthen the legal framework and support the efficiency of commercial activities, Directive (EU) No. 2016/943 of 8 June 2016 on the protection of trade secrets against unlawful acquisition, use and disclosure was adopted and entered into force, after which the EU member states began to develop and adopt national laws to implement the requirements of this Directive. In the Republic of Moldova, the Law on the Protection of Trade Secrets entered into force on 7 March 2024.
