Zusammenfassung

Im digitalen Zeitalter ist Information zu einem immer wertvolleren, aber gleichzeitig auch verletzlichen Gut geworden. Die strategische Rolle, die Geschäftsgeheimnisse in der Wirtschaft des Binnenmarktes spielen, und der verstreute Rechtsrahmen in den verschiedenen EU-Rechtsordnungen haben die EU-Kommission dazu veranlasst, diesen Rechtsbereich zu harmonisieren und die Richtlinie über Geschäftsgeheimnisse zu verabschieden.

Die Arbeit analysiert die Bedingungen, unter denen Informationen ihren geheimen Charakter verlieren, in den öffentlichen Bereich gelangen und dann von Wettbewerbern frei genutzt werden können. Dabei wird der durch die Richtlinie über Geschäftsgeheimnisse geschaffene rechtliche Rahmen berücksichtigt.

Abstract

In the digital age, information has become an increasingly valuable, but at the same time vulnerable commodity. The strategic role that trade secrets play in the economy of the Single Market and the scattered legal framework across EU jurisdictions prompted the EU Commission to harmonise this field of law and to adopt the Trade Secrets Directive.

This thesis analyses the conditions under which information loses its secret nature, enters the public domain and is then free for competitors to use, taking into account the legal framework created by the Trade Secrets Directive.
