INTRODUCTION
Know-how as such is not the subject of a private right in favor of its owner. Once disclosed, therefore, know-how can no longer be protected, and loses all its value.
The promotion and protection of your know-how will therefore be essentially voluntary, and will require the implementation of legal or technical measures designed to preserve its secrecy.
The aim of this fact sheet is to help you understand the legal, technical and contractual means available to you to enhance and protect your know-how.
