ECTA - Survey on the Application of the Trade Secrets Directive (Deadline 1 November 2024)

09/10/2023

Dear ECTA members,

We kindly invite you to participate in a survey on the application of the Trade Secrets Directive (TSD), if you have relevant experience in this area.

In June 2024, DG GROW (Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs of the European Commission) commissioned a study to the London School of Economics and Political Science, in collaboration with CSIL Milan. The study aims to evaluate the practical application of the TSD and recent developments in trade secrets protection since its adoption.

The findings of the study will support the intermediate report on the application of the TSD pursuant to Article 18(2) of the TSD, highlighting key lessons learned and the impact of the directive on research and innovation, employee mobility, and the right to freedom of expression and information.

Stakeholder feedback is essential in assessing these impacts, and we encourage members with relevant insights to participate in this survey on their own behalf by 1 November 2024. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and allows to revise your responses if needed.

If you have any questions or would like a soft copy, please contact Dr Elitsa Garnizova, Project Manager (e.v.garnizova@lse.ac.uk).

Thank you for your valuable contribution.

ECTA
