Rule 11-508. Trade secrets.

A. Scope of the privilege. Unless upholding the privilege will tend to conceal fraud or otherwise work an injustice, a person or entity owning a trade secret has a privilege to refuse to disclose, or to prevent others from disclosing, the trade secret. B. Who may claim the privilege. The privilege may be claimed by a person or entity owning the trade secret, including any agent or employee of that person or entity. C. Protective orders. If a court orders the disclosure of a trade secret, the court must order any appropriate protective measures to safeguard the interests of the trade secret’s owner or any interests that justice requires.
