Brief description of the notified legal text

The reasons for enactment of the Trade Secret Act (No.2) B.E. 2558 are as follows: as certain provisions of the Trade Secrets Act B.E. 2545 form an obstacle to the appointment and the performance of duties of the Trade Secrets Board members and as the penalty imposed on the controller of trade secrets and the revealer of facts obtained or known from the performance of work under this Act does not conform to the current situation, it is expedient to revise the said provisions for more appropriateness. It is, therefore, necessary to enact this Act.
