Intellectual Property Case Adjudication Act Article 36

Where any of the following situations occurs with respect to trade secrets held by a party or a third party, the court may, upon motion along with a preliminary showing by such party or third party, issue a confidentiality preservation order upon the opposing party, the first-mentioned party, an agent, an assistant ad litem, or other related party to the action:1. A party's own trade secrets or those of a third party are disclosed in the first-mentioned party's pleadings, or evidence-taking that has been or is to be made involves trade secrets of the party or a third party.2. Limitation on discovery or use is required so as to prevent the discovery or use of the trade secrets in the preceding paragraph being intended for purposes other than those related to the case, and there are concerns of obstruction to the party's or the third party's business operation as a result of the disclosure of the trade secrets.The preceding paragraph does not apply where an opposing party, a party concerned, an agent, an assistant ad litem, or other related party has obtained or possessed such trade secrets through means other than the document review or evidence-taking prior to the motion.If a party concerned or a third party still fails to file a motion for a confidentiality preservation order in accordance with Paragraph 1 as directed by the court when the court deems it necessary to issue such order, the court may, at the request of the opposing party or the first-mentioned party, and after hearing the opinion of the first-mentioned party or the third party, so issue against those not subject to the confidentiality preservation order in Paragraph 1.The person subject to a confidentiality preservation order shall not use the trade secrets for purposes other than those related to the case, nor shall it disclose said trade secrets to those not subject to the order.
