I hope you won't mind my pointing out a redundancy there that strokes a pet peeve of mine the wrong way. :) Such business information is just a type of trade secrets -- business (trade) secrets. Trade secrets, patented ideas, service and trademarks, and copyrighted works are all forms of proprietary information (which has only recently also been referred to as intellectual property, BTW). Secrets are often proprietary information, but proprietary information is often not secret.
