Business or Trade Secrets are part of the intellectual assets of a company. There are situations in which the best protection form is through the celebration of confidentiality agreements and information access control. This kind of protection may be chosen as an strategic option or because the information or knowledge in question may not meet the registrability requirements for patents, copyrights, software etc.

It is of fundamental importance to identify these opportunities and to choose the best protection form, as to avoid right loss and to ensure a protection period that may last longer.
