Trade secret laws protect certain types of information or resources from unauthorized used or disclosure. What would not be protected under such law?
  1. Soda Formula
  2. Calling the sky blue
  3. Computer Software
  4. Laundry Process
Explanation
Answer: B - Calling the sky blue would not be protected under trade secret laws. For a company to have its resource qualify as a trade secret, the resource must provide the company with some type of competitive value or advantage. A trade secret can be protected by law if developing it requires special skill, ingenuity, and/or expenditure of money and effort. Thus, one cannot claim the sky being blue. A trade secret has no expiration date unless it no longer has economic benefit.
