A trade secret cannot be protected against being discovered by fair and honest means, such as by independent invention or reverse engineering. If a person not having legal access to the trade secret information, deciphers the information without taking recourse to any illegal means, such as by reverse engineering or by independent invention, then such a person cannot be stopped from using the information so discovered.
