Prikaz — O Kommercheskoj Tajne

A Prikaz o kommercheskoj tajne (Order on Trade Secrets) is the foundational legal document required to establish a trade secret regime under Federal Law No. 98-FZ, essential for holding employees liable for disclosures. The order must officially approve a list of protected information, designate responsible personnel, mandate the labeling of documents with "Commercial Secret," and ensure access control through NDAs [1, 2]. Key elements include a preamble citing legal compliance, a defined list of protected data ( Perechen svedeniy ), and an approved regulation ( Polozhenie ), all of which must be acknowledged by employees [1]. To ensure legal enforceability, the order must specifically mandate physical labeling of documents and avoid attempting to classify public-domain information [1, 2].
