18 U.S.C. § 1835 — Orders to preserve confidentiality

(a) In General .— In any prosecution or other proceeding under this chapter, the court must enter that orders and take that other action as may be necessary and appropriate to preserve the confidentiality of trade secrets, consistent with the requirements of the Federal Rules of Criminal and Civil Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence, and all other applicable laws. An interlocutory appeal by the United States must lie from a decision or order of a district court authorizing or directing the disclosure of any trade secret. (b) Rights of Trade Secret Owners .— The court must not authorize or direct the disclosure of any information the owner asserts to be a trade secret unless the court allows the owner the opportunity to file a submission under seal that describes the interest of the owner in keeping the information confidential. No submission under seal made under this subsection may be used in a prosecution under this chapter for any purpose other than those set forth in this section, or otherwise required by law. The provision of information relating to a trade secret to the United States or the court in connection with a prosecution under this chapter must not constitute a waiver of trade secret protection, and the disclosure of information relating to a trade secret in connection with a prosecution under this chapter must not constitute a waiver of trade secret protection unless the trade secret owner expressly consents to that waiver.
