With China's economic development and the promotion of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, more and more enterprises have begun to go abroad to explore overseas markets. Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, and other member countries of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), as close neighbors of China, have abundant natural and labor resources, huge market potential, and have become important destinations for Chinese enterprises to go global.

The reason why we talk about this topic is because of a case that was widely discussed in society a while ago, which made me smell familiar. For so many years, there has never been a shortage of lawyers who show off and deceive people.

In modern society, trade secrets play an increasingly important role in the survival and development of a company. In cases of infringement of trade secrets, the concepts of "secret point" and "secret point separation" continue to emerge. This article examines relevant provisions in legislative documents, starting from cases of trade secret infringement litigation to explore the concept of secret point, clarify the scope of secret point, and then analyze its application in judicial practice, mainly to help rights holders clarify the scope of trade secret protection to support their litigation claims, and consider the factor of secret point separation when determining the amount of damages.
