在这篇研究论文中，我认为保护商业秘密的法律应该容忍（甚至允许）报告以前的研究途径中的“失败”。我认为这种“负面”信息（或失败）构成“负面商业秘密”，因此不应作为常规商业秘密受到保护。我认为，将此类“负面商业秘密”置于公共领域将重振和激发创业、研究和开发。我的主张是，保护商业秘密的法律不应在其保护范围内包括与先前研究途径“失败”有关的信息。
In this research paper, I submit that the laws that protect trade secrets should tolerate (and even allow for) the reporting of “failure” in previous avenues of research. I argue that such “negative” information (or failure) constitute “Negative Trade Secrets,” and as such should not be protected as regular trade secrets. I contend that placing such “Negative Trade Secrets” in the public domain would revitalize and invigorate entrepreneurship, research, and development. My assertion is that the laws protecting trade secrets should not include, within their protections, information pertaining to “failures” in previous avenues of research.
