La Ley 1/2019, de Secretos Empresariales, ha transpuesto al Derecho español la Directiva (UE) 2016/943 y ha establecido una serie de medidas y garantías para proteger la confidencialidad de los secretos empresariales cuando sea precisa su revelación en el marco de unas actuaciones procesales. Entre otros aspectos, es preciso determinar el alcance objetivo y subjetivo de las disposiciones contenidas en la ley, esclarecer hasta qué punto los litigantes tienen un deber o carga de revelar su secreto cuando lo requiera su adversario procesal y examinar hasta qué punto y en qué condiciones las medidas consistentes en restringir el acceso de los litigantes a la información confidencial resultan compatibles con las garantías procesales básicas.

The procedural treatment of the information constituting trade secret. Special reference to the confidentiality protection measures of the Act 1/2019, on Trade Secrets

The Spanish Act on Trade Secrets (1/2019), has transposed Directive (EU) 2016/943 into Spanish law and has established a set of measures and guarantees aimed at protecting the confidentiality of trade secrets, when their disclosure is required within the framework of some procedural actions. Among other aspects, it is necessary to determine the objective and subjective scope of the provisions contained in the law, clarify to what extent litigants have a duty or burden to reveal their trade secrets when required by their procedural adversary, and examine to what extent and under what conditions the measures consisting of restricting the litigants’ access to confidential information are compatible with the basic procedural guarantees and the right of fair trial.
