Commercial Case Adjudication Act Article 55

If the trade secrets held by the parties or third parties, after clarification, are in line with one of the following conditions, the court may issue a confidentiality preservation order to the opposing parties, the parties, agents ad litem, assistants, or other related parties of the litigation by petition:1. The parties' pleading includes trade secrets of the parties or third parties, or evidence that has been investigated, or should be investigated, which relate to trade secrets of the parties or third parties.2. To avoid the disclosure of trade secrets, as described in the preceding subparagraph, that may impede the parties' or the third parties' business activities stemming from such trade secrets, or where such secrets may be used for purposes other than the litigation in question, it is necessary to restrict the disclosure or use of such secrets.The provisions of the preceding paragraph do not apply, if the opposing parties, the parties, agents ad litem, assistants or other parties related to the litigation have obtained the said trade secrets prior to the petition by means other than the methods described in the provisions of Subparagraph 1 of the preceding paragraph concerning the review of the pleading or evidence investigation.The court may, at the request of the person receiving the confidentiality preservation order, and after consulting with the petitioner, issue a confidentiality preservation order to a person not included in the provisions of the first paragraph when the court deems necessary.A person receiving the confidentiality preservation order shall not use the said trade secrets for purposes other than the litigation in question, nor may such a person disclose them to persons who are not under the confidentiality preservation order.
