    Lessons learned
    • Licence, partner-portal and trial terms that bar access by competitors and onward sharing of documentation are part of the evidence of reasonable secrecy measures.
    • Access obtained through a licensee's employee or partner account for a purpose the licence does not allow can ground liability outside the licensee's own contract.
    • Free trials and large numbers of registered users do not by themselves defeat secrecy when click-through terms limit use, but a court may treat user numbers as relevant evidence.
