The national confidential formula is protected by law

1. The confidential formula can be used as a trade secret and is protected by the Anti-Unfair Competition Law

2. The cracker can apply Patents

Confidential formulas are also trade secrets. Since they are trade secrets, they must be packaged with a high degree of secrecy, which means that others cannot decipher the formula once they get the product, such as Yunnan Baiyao, Coca-Cola, etc. At this time, there will be no patent application, because patents have requirements for protection years, and trade secrets can always be held independently as long as they are not made public. However, in this case, if the confidential formula is cracked, confidentiality will be lost and it will be difficult to effectively protect it. For the sake of being cracked, the unit that may hold the secret will apply for a cover-up patent. This patent does not necessarily need to be disclosed.
