Overview
As your company grows, it can be difficult to identify and manage the distinguishing factors that set your business apart from the competition.
As stated in the China Civil Code, which came into force on 1 January 2021, trade secrets are a type of intellectual property right and shall therefore be protected by intellectual property laws.
