    The reporter newspaper correspondent Li Ling Yan Ren Huijuan

    Customer lists, price system, whether belonging to the company's trade secrets? In this regard, the case of second instance to give a detailed explanation of the presiding judge, he said, has the following three criteria:

    1. Involved in the client list, the price system is not related to the field officers of their respective generally known and readily available. Submitted by the Company under the Zhuhai Seine "Saina customer information", "Saina European part of the customer data 2010 trading volume and product price", "Saina American company customer data in 2011 a quarter of trade" and other evidence shows that customers involved customer name list is not simply an enumeration, in fact, contains three aspects: First, the customer's name, address, contact information; Second, customer trading habits, the type and quantity of purchased products, product prices, purchase cycle, purchase channels; Three is the number of different customers to purchase products, prices, trading habits are different. Price system involved reflected Zhuhai Seine for each type of product the company developed a five-level price, high to low are: 1. Fob; 2. Agency price; 3. Regional price; 4. Bottom Line price; 5. cordon price. Zhuhai Seine's competitors in the market, the above list of customers in any one of the customer's name, address, contact information, through books, newspapers, Internet and other public media retrieval that belong to the sectors of public intellectual information. Therefore, a simple customer name, address, contact information does not have secrecy. However, in addition to involving client list includes the customer's name, address, contact information, but also includes the trading habits of each customer, the type and quantity of purchased products, product prices, purchase cycle, purchase channels and so on. Clients and customers, the purchase of the product type and quantity, price, trading volume, trading habits are different, this difference does not have a general regularity. Zhuhai Seine between the company and each customer transaction information, is it based on customer requirements, combined with their own technology, production, capital and other factors, is that both sides considering the specific circumstances and the market itself, after repeated consultations, constantly Adjust the formation of mutually acceptable content, which gradually formed with a certain regularity of the transactions, thus forming a specific trading habits. Zhuhai Seine will these specific customers from many companies around the world were screened out as a special group of customers, maintain long-term stable trading relationship, trading habits. This is different from the known information related to customer lists and price system combination of information, Zhuhai Seine production and business activities in the years the company developed the accumulation obtained, belonging to the originality of intellectual effort, not the industry operators and common sense industry practices for the industry related personnel are not generally known and readily available.

    2 Zhuhai Seine's customer lists, pricing system whether the economy. In a market economy, there is no ready market, customer, customer source of uncertainty, determines the operator who is difficult to accurately informed there is a demand for products. Any formation of a stable customer, operators are required to spend a lot of manpower and financial resources to continue to discover and cultivate, stable customers and operators to be able to bring a lot of economic interests.

    3. Zhuhai Seine companies involved in the client list, the price system whether to take reasonable security measures. Zhuhai Seine company issued a "labor contract", "secrecy and restraint of trade agreements" with four confirmed that the company has signed a confidentiality agreement capita appeal. Conventions: Employee without his superior officer's written consent disclose to third parties, aware of the company's disclosure of Zhuhai Seine trade secret information, nor the company's own use Zhuhai Seine trade secret information. Compliance period from December 2010 to the end of December 2014 in late ending.
