Overview: Trade secrets have inherent limitations and disadvantages in the field of public contracting. First, in order to control the trade secret, a cumbersome system of markings has been developed and is necessary for the preservation of the intellectual property. Further, in order to maintain these markings, contractors need to comply with government-specific accounting rules so as to determine whether the Government or the contractor paid for the technology embodied in the trade secret. Because trade secrets can be enforced for indeterminate amounts of time, evidence of creation and facts showing that trade secret protection is warranted must be retained for decades.
