A vast majority of intellectual property might never achieve protection under statutory regimes, such as trade marks, designs or even copyright. But it is nonetheless, highly confidential information, essential to the running of enterprises or the workings of particular systems or processes.
It is important that business and industry keep such confidential information a secret from all but those who "need to know". While Australian law does not give the same importance to an action for “breach of trust” as some overseas jurisdictions, trade secrets are protectable with appropriate documentation and much of Finn Roache’s work in the general area of intellectual property involves the protection of trade secrets or other information which is not protectable by other statutory means.
