The author analyzes the Trade Secrets statute in Chile, describing the decisive role of the international treaties TRIPS and the FTA with the USA, and the difficulties and inconsistencies observed in the implementation of its rules on undisclosed information in the domestic legal system. It also refers to the way in which the courts of justice and specialized adjudicating bodies applied this statute in the settlement of disputes arising under the Industrial Property and Access to Public Information laws, generating a jurisprudence that, despite the inconveniences of this statute, managed to achieve uniformity in the protection of undisclosed information, whether it was test data or Trade Secrets. Finally, it includes a look at the most recent legal amendments that affected the institution of Trade Secret in the criminal and industrial property fields, explaining how it is expected that they will contribute to strengthen this institution, thanks to the reference to the definition of Trade Secret of the Industrial Property Law, which is formulated when typifying the crime of violation of this institution in the criminal law.
