摘要

我國的營業秘密法自民國八十五年一月制定通過，施行至今，數年來隨著世界經濟局勢的變動，貿易型態的改變及智慧財產權保護觀念的提昇，目前無論實務或學界，對營業秘密法條文本身規定與適用尚有曖昧不清，界限模糊之處，實務上常因僱傭期間內保密契約的制作或競業禁止條款的限制，及僱傭期間終止後或離職後競業禁止的約束，而產生許多糾紛，因欠缺對不法行爲之過阻效果，影響業者研發意願，而阻撓產業技術移轉。
本文將探討我國學理自己合國際潮流之趨勢，及我國其他相關法律規定，民事法規、公司法、公平交易法、刑法，確認我國有關營業秘密之立法是否妥適，或有另行訂定防制經濟間諜單行法規之必要。並就我國營業秘密法之實體規範、司法實務及我國營業秘密法與其他相關法律規定之比較，避免造成不公布競爭，以彌補現行法規缺失，因此建議制定劃分權責與刑貴的相關立法。
