How do I protect a trade secret?

By keeping it secret. If you are the owner of a trade secret you must protect it from disclosure and maintain its confidential nature in order for it to be enforceable as a trade secret. Trade secrets and "know-how" are not subject to patent or trademark protection but can be enforced as valuable property rights by the courts.
