Summary
Prior to the EU Directive on the protection of trade secrets (TSD),2 trade secrets protection in the EU was like the result of a visit to a traditional Nordic smörgåsbord: Even though all had picked their dishes from the same buffet, everyone ended up with different meals. By way of example, Denmark, Finland and Norway have traditionally protected trade secrets via the provisions in their (rather similar) national Marketing Practices Acts (i.e. “unfair competition law”) and Penal Codes, whereas Sweden has had for a long time (and as the only EU country) an Act dedicated to the protection of trade secrets.3
