  • A To prove that the information has a value.
  • B To present the evidences before the court.
  • C To submit investigative report to senior officials.
  • D To prove that the data belongs to the company.

For information to qualify as a trade secret in a corporate-espionage prosecution, it must derive independent economic value from not being generally known or readily ascertainable.
