Direct connection with the business activity of the company. For example, trade secrets include production secrets (know-how), plans for an advertising campaign. However, information about which football team the owner of the company supports is not such, since it is not related to business activity.

Absence of information related to state secrets. Otherwise, other legal norms come into effect that do not allow arbitrary discretion when classifying certain information as CT.

The information is the exclusive property of the company.

Third parties do not have arbitrary access to this information, although it is of interest to them.

The owner of data that constitutes a commercial secret takes measures to ensure that it does not become known to third parties.

The owner of the information decides whether it needs protection under such a regime. Its distribution to certain information must be documented, only in this case it will be under legal protection.

Data that is and is not suitable for trade secrets
CT may consist not only of information that is significant in the present, but also of information that can be obtained in the future and acquire its significance later:

Information about clients, concluded transactions, partners, etc.

The terms of the transactions concluded with clients, the very fact of their occurrence.

The company's pricing policy.

The structure and volume of the company's debt.

Information of interest for the formation of a commercial strategy.

Data on software products and equipment used in production and management processes.

The procedure for organizing the security of objects belonging to the company.

The results of discussions in governing bodies of certain issues related to the company's activities.

Official and business correspondence that is conducted internally and with counterparties.

Similar to banking and state secrets, violation of the commercial secret regime entails liability established by law.

Not any information can be recognized as CT, but only that which has value. For example, if data on the operating mode of an enterprise is recognized as a secret, then its disclosure will not harm the company, and the person who has obtained this information will not gain any advantage.
