Undisclosed Information

The “Non-disclosed Information” referred in TRIPS equals to the “Confidential Information” or “Business Secrets (Trade Secrets)” within China. In my view, there are some connections and differences between confidential information and business secrets (as one part) and Non-disclosure Obligations (as another part), i.e. the different legal consequences may resulted from the breach of Non-disclosure Obligations under any contract and the infringement of business secrets, in particular, the civil, administrative or criminal liabilities may arising from the infringement of business secrets, provided, however, the breach of Non-disclosure Obligations (except the confidentiality of business secrets) under any contract may
only subject to the civil liabilities.
