Explanation:

To determine the three elements of a trade secret, we analyze each option:

• "Information has economic value not generally known": A trade secret must have economic value from its secrecy, so this is correct.
• "Original work must be in a tangible form": This is a requirement for copyright, not trade secrets, so incorrect.
• "Subject to reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy": Reasonable efforts to keep it secret are essential for a trade secret, correct.
• "A unique logo or brand names": These are trademarks, not trade secrets, incorrect.
• "Must be a service": Trade secrets can be about products, processes, etc., not limited to services, incorrect.
• "Others cannot legitimately obtain the information": If others can't legitimately get it, it maintains its secret nature, correct.

Answer:

1. Information has economic value not generally known
2. Subject to reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy
3. Others cannot legitimately obtain the information
