know-how n. Technical information often exploited in conjunction with a patent. EU regulation 316/2014 (previously 772/2004) governs the terms that may or may not be included in a know-how licence agreement and continues to apply in the UK after Brexit as it has been designated as retained EU law. The EU Trade Secrets Regulation 2016/943 harmonized the law on confidentiality in the EU and was implemented in the UK by the Trade Secrets (Enforcement, etc.) Regulations 2018 (which is also retained EU law). See technology transfer. |
