This article draws on a recently completed study for the European Commission on trade secrets in the data economy. It distils the main findings of that Study and advances it by reflecting on and analyzing these findings in the context of existing legal, management and economics literature, as well as their implications for EU legal policymaking when it comes to trade secrets law. In order to facilitate data sharing, the article argues for a cautious approach, with very modest legislative reforms to the EU Trade Secrets Directive, instead preferring soft law and practical steps to be taken. There is, however, greater scope to reform legal regimes that are complementary to EU trade secrets law, such as the database right.
本文借鉴了最近为欧盟委员会完成的一项关于数据经济中商业秘密的研究。它提炼了该研究的主要发现，并通过在现有法律、管理和经济学文献的背景下对这些发现进行反思和分析，以及考虑其对欧盟商业秘密法立法政策制定的影响，进一步深化了研究。为了促进数据共享，本文主张采取谨慎的方法，对欧盟《商业秘密指令》进行非常适度的立法改革，而更倾向于采取软法和实际措施。然而，对于与欧盟商业秘密法相辅相成的法律制度，如数据库权，有更大的改革空间。
