A new number of the Rivista di Diritto Industriale has just been published with an article by, among others, Giulia Pacifico on the protection of trade secrets and confidential information, with particular regard to clients’ lists. It is a commentary on a decision of the Court of Venice that admits their protection ex art. 98 c.p.i. under the condition that they are not merely lists of data ‘atomistically’ considered, but rather information organised following a collection and aggregation activity intended for profiling.
