00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:31.480
a very warm welcome in module 2 of week 8 of
the course intellectual property disputes code

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:38.600
practices and enforcement now this whole week
you have seen that it is dedicated on a different

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:44.880
types or other forms of Ip like industrial design
which we have already done then the trade secret

00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.280
we will deal with in this particular module
and then in next module we will deal with a

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:54.800
geographical indication semiconductor integrated
layout design circuits and a protection of plant

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:00.040
varieties and Farmers right okay now when we
are talking about a trade secret you can check

00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:06.320
just check that we will discuss this particular
trade secret and the disputes related to that

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:11.680
considering these 11 points you can say like
introduction legal framework rights of the

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:18.080
owner who is owning the trade secret types of
infringement and enforcement administrative

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:23.800
measures then enforcement regulatory measures
legal remedies what are there some case studies

00:01:23.800 --> 00:01:29.360
what are the challenges considering trade secret
then we will see the prevention strategies and

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:35.760
then the that emerging Trends okay so these
points we will we will focus on and we will see

00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:40.600
the how exactly the disputes related trade secret
come now you can just check here which are the

00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:47.520
different key elements or a key criteria for a
trade secret so when we are talking about a trade

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:55.080
secret the key elements or important things which
come is like it it is like a a three criteria of

00:01:55.080 --> 00:02:01.160
that particular that trade secret are it should
be a secret it should be having a economic value

00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:07.280
or a commercial value and it should be like a
that owner have taken a reasonable steps to keep

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:14.400
it secret so these are the three important things
reasonable stepes for keeping it Secret commercial

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:22.200
value that is economic value or commercial value
and then the it is a secret now this trade secret

00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:27.360
can be a technical information this can be a
business information this can be a financial

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:34.680
information and if you see the Vio definition what
wpo how wpo is defined vipo says that trade secret

00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:43.040
it is any confidential business information which
provide an Enterprise with a competitive age so

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:49.800
it is a own by Enterprise it is giving competitive
age and it is a confidential information and that

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:55.720
confidentiality is govern by that elements that
is it is a secret reasonable steps are taken and

00:02:55.720 --> 00:03:01.640
then it is having that commercial value that
is very important okay so this this is we have

00:03:01.640 --> 00:03:08.000
to remember because when Court will examine any
trade secret related issue that they will focus

00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:14.720
on these three important Point okay so and we know
that trade secret or any we when we are talking

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:20.320
about a knowledge economy these are important for
fostering science and technology for fostering

00:03:20.320 --> 00:03:26.000
that Innovation now if you compare it with the
patent or a trademark or a copyright the main

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:31.600
difference you can see that in India we don't
have a separate act to protect the trade secret

00:03:31.600 --> 00:03:37.480
I'm talking about India currently the bill is like
proposed and let us see how exactly it moves but

00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:43.240
it is in a process so that is a main difference
when we are talking about other types of ips and

00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:49.400
trade secrets so that one difference we have to
remember so obviously what will happen we have to

00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:55.760
depend on the some different acts that which are
there for the protection of this St SEC now just

00:03:55.760 --> 00:04:00.800
check here we will just move and we will just
see the legal framework you can just check here

00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:08.360
that trips agreement has given some guidelines
for the that particular that trade secret it

00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:16.960
was introduced in 1995 and with the formation
of that that trps has introduced in 1995 the

00:04:16.960 --> 00:04:25.160
World Trade organization so WTO comes into
the picture in 1995 IO 67 right but when the WTO

00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:32.400
come 1990 that Li liberalization happened there
are quite change in the IP like behav we can say

00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:39.480
IP management and IP strategy by the overall
the organizations and and the outcome of that

00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:46.400
particular IP overall during that time and after
that time and we generally call this there was a

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:55.840
major shift we can say from tangible to intangible
during that 1980 to 1920 sorry 1990 95 that

00:04:55.840 --> 00:05:02.720
was a major we can say the change was there so
that trips agreement is important and then we

00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:08.320
can see that there is like a Paris convention you
can just check here which was obviously long back

00:05:08.320 --> 00:05:15.280
1883 so modern IP system Paris convention trips
obviously these are the important we can say the

00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:20.600
international Arrangements now if you see the
Indian context in the Indian context you can see

00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:27.400
here there is a Indian contract act then there
is a Information Technology act then you can just

00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:34.360
check here Copyright Act is there competition
act and then Indian Penal Code okay and a few we

00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:42.600
can say a reference also or a few in few cases
probably you will take help of a company act also

00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:50.240
okay so these are like a few statutory Provisions
which are there in India that will help to do the

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:57.720
protection of a rade secret but mostly I can say
that that contract at is it is playing a major

00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:03.040
important role when we are talking about the
trade secret along with obviously other we can

00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:09.960
say the acts are there now when we are talking
about a contract act section 27 is there

00:06:09.960 --> 00:06:17.320
some few sections we are just mentioning here so
section 27 is dealing with a restrain of tradeit

00:06:17.320 --> 00:06:23.800
which can be used to enforce a non-disclosure
agreements so you just note down that sections

00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.760
you can go into details of that but this is
one section next you can just check here

00:06:29.760 --> 00:06:37.680
that 124 and 126 is there which that contract
act which is related to again the confidential

00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:45.160
information if you take Information Technology
act then section 43 which is providing for the

00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:54.680
penalties for the damage to that computer system
which is due to that unauthorized access of data

00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:03.640
so that reference of Information Technology act
then section 65 which is dealing with a tampering

00:07:03.640 --> 00:07:11.200
with a computer source document actually so that
is also you can just take a reference of that next

00:07:11.200 --> 00:07:20.440
is like a section 72 which is about the penalties
for a breach of confidentiality and a privacy so

00:07:20.440 --> 00:07:27.800
contract act then Information Technology act next
you can just see Copyright Act copyright obviously

00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:33.440
it is talking about the that subject matter
is like literary work and then the pantomimes

00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:40.920
choreography photograph and all that thing but you
can just check here some information like can

00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:48.600
be like a protected some confidential information
may be protected like by using a copyright

00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:56.360
but that that that percentage wise we can say
that the chances are very less but some protection

00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:04.320
you can Avail by using a copyright protection okay
some I'm just not endorsing it much but you can

00:08:04.320 --> 00:08:11.360
just check that possibility that trade secret
there is no any statutary statutory provision then

00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:17.520
maybe you can think about a protection by using a
Copyright Act okay if possible very rare but you

00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:23.400
can just check the possibility okay competition
act will play important role when there is a

00:08:23.400 --> 00:08:29.800
kind of a anti-competitive agreements if happen
considering a trade secret then that will take

00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:35.560
that that that role of competition act will
come into the picture but again for trade

00:08:35.560 --> 00:08:41.560
secret that that challenge will be there when
you are applying that competition act I will say

00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:46.840
that if you see Information Technology Act and
the contract act are the major we can say the

00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:51.760
important acts when we are talking about
a trade secret along with these you can

00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:59.240
think about strategize your that protection of
that confidential information maybe I maybe by

00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:06.400
using using these particular acts okay indan penal
Penal Code may help you in if some unfortunate

00:09:06.400 --> 00:09:13.800
event happen and Company act section 166 you can
just check because that is something related to

00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:20.200
the confidential information and then the the
directors which are that the obligations for

00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:29.400
the directors okay so section 166 of a company
Act is there then section 4 not five also

00:09:29.400 --> 00:09:35.240
so it's there which is dealing with a Criminal
breach of a trust okay so this this is about the

00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:41.920
company act so although you can just check here
these particular acts are we have mentioned here

00:09:41.920 --> 00:09:47.200
but we can say that contract Act is are playing
Major important role when considering Indian

00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:53.480
jurisdiction that if any misappropriation or
if any unfortunate event happen related to the

00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:59.840
trade secret okay so contract that is important
and then you can just take help of a few other

00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:07.200
acts and that you can decide on the usage of the
effective we can say the use of this particular

00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:16.440
acts based on case to case basis okay so this
is about the acts now just check here that

00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:22.760
the considering the key challenges if you see
related to trade secret considering Indian context

00:10:22.760 --> 00:10:28.400
you can just check here there is no any specific
legislation is there then you have to dependent

00:10:28.400 --> 00:10:35.880
on the common law then obviously there is just
we have shared that the legislation is proposed

00:10:35.880 --> 00:10:41.960
but enforcement is another important thing but
enforcement of Ip overall itself is a challenge

00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.800
but trade secret will be one more challenge
because there is no many statutory provision

00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:53.480
so contract law you are using it and by by
that that will be of a great help International

00:10:53.480 --> 00:11:00.040
like there is a guidelines that you should give
the protection for IPA and obviously lerate secret

00:11:00.040 --> 00:11:06.360
is one of the IP so trips and Paris convention
so we have to considering Indian jurisdiction

00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:11.960
we have to give protection to the trade secret as
for the trips guidelines and yes our contract Act

00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:18.880
is taking care about that particular thing now
just check the different types of infringements

00:11:18.880 --> 00:11:27.360
or that how exactly the IP disputes that trade
related disputes will arise so there are like some

00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:33.240
infringement will happen so we will see different
types some Mis misappropriation may happen breach

00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:39.200
of confidentiality may happen the by employees
very common common because there there are many

00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:45.360
cases that employee have carried the information
cyber attacks are there reverse engineering yeah

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:51.960
means that is one challenge but yes IP is
taking care of reverse engineering trade secret

00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:57.920
also you can say there are chances that reverse
engineering because of that your trade secret may

00:11:57.920 --> 00:12:04.480
not be a trade secret then the industrial Asin
onage is another one challenge accidental

00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:11.840
disclosure is another one that U sometimes this
may happen that accidental disclosure may be there

00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:17.880
and third party misuse will be there so these are
the issues which come with the or these are the

00:12:17.880 --> 00:12:24.600
kind of some like trade secret related disputes
like you you may face or you may have like

00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:30.600
seen this these kind of issues now when we are
talking about Miss appropriation actually that

00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:36.360
misappropriation is a like obviously when we are
talking about infringement un authorized usage

00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:42.120
improper means are used for acquisition of that
particular data that particular trade secret is

00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:49.200
obviously misappropriation is there right hacking
or some bribery and then you are like a a spying

00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:54.440
okay so all this industrial Espin onage or and
all that when you are talking about sometimes

00:12:54.440 --> 00:13:02.280
you may cross the healthy practices and this may
lead to the life misappropriation of a data breach

00:13:02.280 --> 00:13:07.920
of confidentiality as you know that there are
non-disclosure agreements are there but maybe

00:13:07.920 --> 00:13:14.240
sometimes what will happen that yes there may be
the bridge of that ndas also and sharing of that

00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:19.560
confidential information may happen employee
theft is yeah major issue is there many times

00:13:19.560 --> 00:13:26.160
ignorance is there and employee from moving from
one company to another company by ignorance also

00:13:26.160 --> 00:13:32.240
they can carry the data or there may maybe
like a intentional like probably you are aware

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:40.000
about that why Mo case so there was like a that
that the data is kind of taken from the employee

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:46.680
and they join the competitor so that issue
is there okay then Cyber attack if you can

00:13:46.680 --> 00:13:53.840
check that thing for the getting the information
that confidential information cyber attacks May

00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:59.640
mean this kind of a mode can be used reverse
engineering is yes one IPS for that you can

00:13:59.640 --> 00:14:06.800
you appreciate that I hope industrial Espionage
we I just told you that sometimes that the

00:14:06.800 --> 00:14:13.040
company to obtain that information some means are
used spying and all that thing and then it may

00:14:13.040 --> 00:14:19.800
cross the that competitive intelligence healthy
practice okay so sometimes accidental disclosure

00:14:19.800 --> 00:14:26.360
is it is unintentional so as it is unintentional
unintentional and if that will happen obviously

00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:31.800
you are like not taking care about a secret
because Court will see that three criteria that

00:14:31.800 --> 00:14:38.600
whether you are taking you are taking a reasonable
steps to protect that trade secret so if you do a

00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:43.920
accidental disclosure very casual about the trade
secret and that trade secret will not remain trade

00:14:43.920 --> 00:14:51.080
secret if this kind of a disclosure happen third
party misuse is a possibility is there that will

00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:57.520
also kind of things are so you can just check
here these are the these are the some examples

00:14:57.520 --> 00:15:02.120
and about the trade related Rel ated disputes
you can just check here and you can you may

00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:07.760
have some more examples you might be knowing or
you may may have come across now furthermore you

00:15:07.760 --> 00:15:13.640
can just see that if you see the India
specific issues actually if we if you want to

00:15:13.640 --> 00:15:19.720
focus on this jurisdiction you can just see that
employee Mobility is a one we have already shared

00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:26.200
with that it's like not only India you can see at
any jurisdiction this is one issue which is a

00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:33.280
very common and therefore there is always
one agreement that is not the employees are

00:15:33.280 --> 00:15:39.320
restricted from joining the competitors at least
for next three or five years by the agreement so

00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:44.640
that Arrangement companies do in their like
exit interview they will clarify to the

00:15:44.640 --> 00:15:50.680
employee that yes you are agreeing that and if you
join the competitor we can take action against

00:15:50.680 --> 00:15:55.680
you so that much clear that anti competitive
agreements if some confidential information

00:15:55.680 --> 00:16:01.600
related that if you are involved that employees
is involved in that particular organizations are

00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:07.480
taking due care about that Outsourcing risk is
there yeah when you are especially oems and all

00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:14.080
that thing when you are sharing the data with the
vendors there are chances of leakage and you you

00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:19.720
may face the issues related to trtic grade we
enforcement yes we are facing this particular

00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:27.360
issue with the all types of ips so that is Major
we can say the challenge actually then cultural

00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:34.160
attitude is another thing which is major issue
considering Indian scenario that many times that

00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:42.200
when sharing we may that there may be like that
casual approach if it is there obviously IP will

00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:48.320
not remain that trade secret may not remain
a secret digital piracy is one of the issue

00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:55.600
then cyber crime another issue startup ecosystem
challenges are there like in the startup also

00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:01.560
what will happen if there is ignorance if that
Founders are not aware about that employee are not

00:17:01.560 --> 00:17:07.680
restricted by policies about that particular
sharing and all then probability is that that

00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:13.160
in the emerging technology if that startup is
working probability is very high that that trade

00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:18.960
secret that cautions may not be taken to protect
it traditional knowledge related issues and trade

00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:26.800
secret may be the one we can say the perspective
you can just see that aspect also that traditional

00:17:26.800 --> 00:17:32.240
knowledge IND indigenous Technologies are there
and the protection of that and trade secret you

00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:39.560
can relate that that particular aspect also
especially in India that is or China these are the

00:17:39.560 --> 00:17:45.640
traditional knowledge we these two economies are
very we can say the rich in traditional knowledge

00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:51.040
and generally this traditional knowledge is
kept as a secret right okay then crossborder

00:17:51.040 --> 00:18:00.040
infringement ches chances are there that that
there is like Bridge of like that may be

00:18:00.040 --> 00:18:06.680
contract and all so International mechanisms are
there to take care because nowadays you know that

00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:13.200
the multinationals are spread the R&S are spread
across Globe it is not the situation now that R&D

00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:20.480
will be in the headquarter R&D are like now that
in different economies for a globalization

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:27.040
that R&D you can check that these are set up by
the organization so there are chances about the

00:18:27.040 --> 00:18:32.680
leakage because of that in Industry Academia
collaboration is there but and there are may

00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:39.480
be chances because in that anywhere if the
Casual approach is there about trade secret if

00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:47.840
that caution is not taken if every time it is not
insisted that this is a confidential information

00:18:47.840 --> 00:18:54.240
there are chances that the sharing may happen
ignorantly and and generally in academic

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:59.760
culture that knowledge is for sharing that
attitude is there so so little bit caution we have

00:18:59.760 --> 00:19:05.880
to take when such industry Academia collaborations
are there little more caution need to be taken

00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:13.440
and probably the ndas if it is signed probably
that will work for keeping the like a check that

00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:19.920
yes the proper caution will be taken then informal
business practices maybe sometimes may result into

00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:28.160
the like that trade secret disclosure okay so
U these are these are the few incidences these are

00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:33.680
the few we can say the scenarios we have shared
with you that these are the ways by which there

00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:39.280
may be Pro probabilities that trade secret may
not remain as a trade secret and it will attract

00:19:39.280 --> 00:19:46.280
because of that there will be the like disputes
may arise and sometimes you may have to go to

00:19:46.280 --> 00:19:52.520
the court for solving that particular CH that
that dispute okay and there are other mechanisms

00:19:52.520 --> 00:19:57.960
also okay so we will take a break here you just
watch a video related to trade secret this

00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:04.360
is a case you can just check about the employee
Mobility only probably you will enjoy that and

00:20:04.360 --> 00:20:12.200
then we will go into the next details about the
TR Secret sube in Silicon Valley a former Google

00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:17.880
engineer has been charged with stealing files from
alphabet's self-driving car project and taking

00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:24.200
them to Uber his new employer at that time Dan
Simon joins us now on this story Dan actually this

00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:28.800
is a story that keeps coming back quite frankly
because there was a civil case that was set

00:20:28.800 --> 00:20:36.880
L between weo or alphabet and Uber this is now
criminal talk us through what we're seeing here

00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:43.720
okay so now just see the enforcement about the
trade secret how we can go for that enforcement

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:50.400
because when we are talking about that disputes
which are arising for when we are talking about

00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:56.080
a trade secret we have given you the different
scenarios right now we know the scenarios okay

00:20:56.080 --> 00:21:01.560
these are the scenarios so now we will talk about
about the international like what are the bodies

00:21:01.560 --> 00:21:08.440
which are like giving you the relief or giving
some guidelines related to the this handling the

00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:16.840
issues which are related to trade secret disputes
so obviously Vio is there WTO is there then

00:21:16.840 --> 00:21:21.640
International Chamber of Commerce which is
taking care then United Nations Commission

00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:28.520
on International Trade law okay so this is a
separate body which is like focused on like

00:21:29.360 --> 00:21:35.840
that related to trade law so obviously they can
also help in the the that guidelines and the

00:21:35.840 --> 00:21:43.840
regulation related to trade secret Interpol
is also involved now wpo if you see that

00:21:43.840 --> 00:21:49.880
obviously all IP related activities are
like managed by vipo vipo arbitration and

00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:56.000
Med mediation Center is there and they can handle
the disputes if it is at an international level

00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:02.160
then the again if you can just che check the
WTO also they can handle the that country to

00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:10.560
Country if any disputes are there so that WTO
can take care based on that trips compliance

00:22:10.560 --> 00:22:15.520
okay then International Chamber of Commerce
is there again the arbitration services are

00:22:15.520 --> 00:22:22.560
provided related to trade secret disputes so and
then the best practices guidelines Etc are like

00:22:22.560 --> 00:22:28.960
shared by them then United Nations Commission
on International Trade law obviously provides a

00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:35.520
model laws and arbitration rules which can be
helpful for the any International dispute related

00:22:35.520 --> 00:22:43.120
to trade secret right crossborder investigation
obviously if is there related to IP and then

00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:51.520
the trade obviously this Interpol is also the
the you can say the body which may be of a help

00:22:51.520 --> 00:22:57.880
okay now if you see the India specific scenario
which are the administrative mechanisms you can

00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:02.800
just check here that these are the mechanisms
or these are the different authorities which are

00:23:02.800 --> 00:23:09.040
helping us in the protection of this particular
like trade secret related if any disputes are

00:23:09.040 --> 00:23:15.280
there so obviously first like cgpm that is a
controller general of patents designs this is one

00:23:15.280 --> 00:23:22.400
Authority maybe you can directly you cannot you
can just check the if if you see the protection

00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:30.880
they are dealing with a Patent Trademark
industrial design copyright then the geographical

00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:38.400
indication so these are the these are the main
we can say and semiconductor so these six IPS will

00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:43.880
be taken care by the cgp DTM but if something
trade secret related to patent is there and

00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:51.640
you are protected through that Kno how skill
technology transfer and some contracts related

00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:58.920
to that so there may be chance that you are like
like take a help of this part particular

00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:06.760
office but we can say that directly may not
be having any role of a cgpf but if some tech

00:24:06.760 --> 00:24:13.240
transfer related Agreements are there probably
some part maybe you can say that you if you

00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:20.400
have mentioned it in the like that contract
obviously you can take help of a that Controller

00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:28.560
General and one more thing I can just mention
here that he cgpd is also registered for copyright

00:24:28.560 --> 00:24:36.200
right so in that case if some some data breach is
there maybe this regulatory Authority may help

00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:43.240
this administrative Authority may help in the
dispute resolution okay but role is we can

00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:50.960
say we can say that is not that arbitration or
the court their role is we can say the major

00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:56.040
role with the contract act coming but yes you
can just think about these are the authorities

00:24:56.040 --> 00:25:03.080
probably you can approach dpia is a Ministry which
is like controlling all these authorities that

00:25:03.080 --> 00:25:08.600
administrative measures so dpit in one sense
because it is something related to promotion

00:25:08.600 --> 00:25:16.320
of industry and internal trade so if major issues
come some some intervention may happen for example

00:25:16.320 --> 00:25:22.680
I can just tell you that SCP related issues are
coming so DP is contributing helping in solving

00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:28.480
that so if trade secret related something
very challenging situation comes probably

00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:34.320
yes this is Authority so we have just mentioned
that yes these are the concern authorities related

00:25:34.320 --> 00:25:41.640
to IP so maybe if some issues comes related to
tr secret we can just think about this particular

00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:48.960
authorities seum is actually the wing of dpit
only which is taking care about the awareness

00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:55.920
IP awareness so that way they are contributing
into the awareness so that by ignorance there

00:25:55.920 --> 00:26:03.120
may not be the the dis that breach of contract
and trade secret dispute May should not

00:26:03.120 --> 00:26:09.800
arise so in that perspective you can say that CER
is contributing right National IP policies taking

00:26:09.800 --> 00:26:15.840
care because the guidelines are given and that
that are creating the awareness and then probably

00:26:15.840 --> 00:26:22.560
you can just check that this is one way by which
the policy is contributing in know managing that

00:26:22.560 --> 00:26:28.360
particular IP at a national level might has like a
Ministry of electronics and information technology

00:26:28.360 --> 00:26:35.200
you can say they are taking care because
mostly the Cyber related activities cyber

00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:40.480
attacks and all this ministry yes
taking that along with that cyber and

00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:46.440
information security division of Ministry
of Home Affairs they're also like contributing

00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:52.280
into the controlling this particular crimes
which are related to like cyber crimes and all

00:26:52.280 --> 00:26:58.520
that thing which are related to trade secret
that will be taken care okay competition commit

00:26:58.520 --> 00:27:07.920
role will come if yeah if the case is not at
such the issue is not you will not see any case

00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:15.320
law or any issue such kind of directly related
to trade secret but yes we never know that in

00:27:15.320 --> 00:27:22.600
future if some issue comes competition commission
definitely will have a role but as of now you can

00:27:22.600 --> 00:27:29.200
say that we are not clear that how exactly it will
come into the picture but definitely that this

00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:36.360
is Authority and we should be aware about that
okay so the national cyber security coordinator

00:27:36.360 --> 00:27:41.280
is there so all these authorities are taking we
can say that these are the authorities which are

00:27:41.280 --> 00:27:48.400
related to the that that IP and probably they can
help in trade secret and we can say that with the

00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:56.920
current that legislative that measure which
related to trade secret that bill is like like in

00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:02.920
consideration so let us see how exactly it will
go okay so now what we will see we will just

00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:10.200
check this case actually this you have watched
this video about the Uber and wio case that is

00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:18.840
a yeah so issue was this is a directly the th of
Technology that was the issue that was the you

00:28:18.840 --> 00:28:25.080
can just go into details of that case if you
see the link in detail that link probably

00:28:25.080 --> 00:28:34.080
you will get more idea now this argument
this particular issue actually so it was settled

00:28:34.080 --> 00:28:43.200
with Uber agreeing no not to incorporate
wo's confidential information because in the

00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:50.880
court proceeding it was like found that yes there
are chances that Vios that that confidential

00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:58.040
information thft has happened and Uber agreed that
they will not use that that is accepted or that is

00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:05.280
agreed upon that was the case actually okay
so that was that employee Mobility or

00:29:05.280 --> 00:29:12.840
anti-competitive that I have just told you
now that employee cannot join the competitor at

00:29:12.840 --> 00:29:18.880
least three or five years so such cautions now
organizations are taking if their employees are

00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:25.480
involved generally that that caution is
taken especially emerging Technologies are there

00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:32.040
and a lot of trade secret is there you can just
check this another case like a dupond and colon

00:29:32.040 --> 00:29:39.000
now what that what this case is like a it was
again the threp related to the fiber technology

00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:49.680
related trade secret and the it was jury
verdict for dupon it was like around 99.9 million

00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:56.520
that was damages but I guess it is later
settled with a $275 million or something like

00:29:56.520 --> 00:30:02.840
that okay so that was was the that was the case
you can just check this there are so many cases

00:30:02.840 --> 00:30:09.720
we just thought that we can just share with her
two cases but yo cases are very popular actually

00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:15.320
and you can just go into the details of that
video link which we have already shared with you

00:30:15.320 --> 00:30:22.520
so you can just go into details of that okay
so this this when we are talking about this

00:30:22.520 --> 00:30:29.400
particular trade secret you have just like got
we have tried that we we have given the different

00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:35.960
scenarios different International Arrangements
what are there India specific which are the bodies

00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:42.360
which are concerned with this particular trade
secret and then which are the that statutory

00:30:42.360 --> 00:30:49.640
Provisions so contract Act is a major and then we
have also now waiting for how exactly that bill

00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:55.400
further process which is under consideration and
we have just shared with you the two case studies

00:30:55.400 --> 00:31:02.080
only case laws only okay so these two case loss
and then the other information so I guess this

00:31:02.080 --> 00:31:07.400
much information is good enough considering the
this particular course if you want to go into more

00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:14.520
details because this is one thing trade secret is
playing now major role in emerging Technologies

00:31:14.520 --> 00:31:25.680
and challenges are we can say very High there
is a kind of breach of contract or a trade

00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:32.120
secret trade secret related issues news are like
coming up and probably because of that only we are

00:31:32.120 --> 00:31:39.440
thinking about that bill and act related to that
but let us see how exactly it moves okay so

00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:47.480
quiz time so you can just check if you know
any any like a case related to that trade secret

00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:53.720
you can just share into the comment box and
we can we will also get information about

00:31:53.720 --> 00:32:00.040
that so if you are aware about that particular T
please share into the comment box don't share it

00:32:00.040 --> 00:32:07.720
into the discussion for share it into the comment
box okay so I hope that you you have got the

00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:14.120
enough idea about trade secret and the dispute
and in the next session we will move to the

00:32:14.120 --> 00:32:20.000
next slide geographical indication protection
of plant fores Farmers right and semiconductor

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:26.520
related issues and then the that the trade
secret and the disputes related to that if any

00:32:26.520 --> 00:32:38.040
okay so with this are coming to the end of this
session see you in the next session thank you
