Abstract

The note argues that the surge in trade between the United States and the European Union has led to the implementation of new trade secrets directives in both regions, establishing trade secrets as the dominant form of intellectual property over patents. The Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) in the U.S. and the Trade Secrets Directive (TSD) in the E.U. were enacted to address the growing need for robust protection of trade secrets in an increasingly globalized economy.
