| 摘要: | 企業為確保自身競爭優勢，莫不透過各種方式，來加強或保護自身的利益，保密條款即其中一環，在離職後約定保密條款，禁止勞工洩漏前雇主的營業秘密，只是單純的忠誠義務延伸上相對的保密，相較於競業禁止條款上，限制約束勞工就業權利的侵害等不利益的程度相對小。受僱人洩漏在職期間或離職後知悉的營業秘密，對於全世界高科技產業與經濟造成重大打擊，因而關於競業禁止條款適用的範圍及其內容，引發本文研究競業禁止之法律適用與案例之動機。
本文以兩岸保密條款與競業禁止規定為主軸，首先透過文獻瞭解各國及我國營業秘密與競業禁止之起源與發展，緊接著探悉臺灣地區與大陸地區之保密條款與競業禁止之區別與關聯，接著探討離職後的競業禁止規定及其問題所在。
又對於一般勞工而言，繁雜或艱深的法律，並非為其所能理解，勞工僅知倘若要獲取此份工作，即可能被迫屈服而簽下保密條款或競業禁止條款書面之約定，為此本文以個案之深入研究，並提出競業禁止約款建立二階段理論進行審查，希對於實務與司法有所助益。
To ensure competitive edges, each and every enterprise will strive to enhance or protect its own interests in a variety of ways. A confidentiality agreement is one of them. It is a pure extension of the obligation of loyalty to make a confidentiality agreement so as to prohibit the leakage of the former employer's business secrets after resignation. Such extent of disadvantage is relatively small compared to the non-competition clause in which the labor rights to employment are violated. The trade secret leakage of the employees during or after work causes a major blow to the global high-tech industry and economy. The scope and content of the application of non-compete clauses thus triggers the research motive of the legal application and case study of the non-competition clause.
The theme of this paper is the cross-strait confidentiality agreements and non-competition clauses. To start with, understanding the origin and development of trade secrets and non-compete clauses of our country and other countries as well by consulting historical documents, followed by the differences and correlations of the confidentiality agreements and non-compete clauses between Taiwan and mainland China. Last, the exploration of non-competition agreements after resignation and the problems brought about by them.
For general laborers, complex or profound laws are way beyond their comprehension. All they know is that if they wish to get jobs, they may probably be forced to yield and sign a written confidentiality and non-competition agreement. Hence, this paper
deals with an in-depth case study and a proposition of a two-stage review on non-competition terms, in the hope that this can be of help in practice and in law. |
