vocational secret


Explanation:
trade is not 'yrke', it's 'handel'
yrke='profession', 'vocation'
the adjective 'professional' is not to be used as it has so many connotations, some negative, which the previous answerer rightly sensed

Explanation:
Hallo,

I took a look at how the German -> English translation would be.

German: Berufsgeheimnis = English: professional secret
"Berufsgeheimnis" is yrkeshemmelighet in Norwegian

But trade secrets also sounds okay.....
difficult without the content...

Good luck !
