Trade secrets aren't protected by law. That's why they aren't disclosed. If someone lawfully reverse engineers your trade secret, its secrecy disappears without legal recourse. Decompiling a binary for RE interop purposes is legal in the US.

That is a common misconception, but trade secrets are absolutely protected by law, in most countries around the world.

Now yes, they're fair game for reverse engineering, but that doesn't mean someone can't be mad about it and tell you not to do it.
