Abstract
After many years in which trade secrets law received relatively little attention internationally, we are now seeing a flurry of activity aimed at harmonising trade secret protection, combined with efforts to increase the level of protection provided by law. Internationally, there have been a number of initiatives to increase trade secret protection, driven by concerns about economic espionage, especially foreign economic espionage. ¹This article is about one such initiative, the trade secret provisions in the recently concluded Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) to which New Zealand is a party, and the impact these provisions will have on New Zealand law.
