I would like to ask everyone. My relative is very good at making dried tofu. Everyone wants him to apply for a patent. I don’t know if it is necessary. Can you help me analyze the pros and cons?

This is a formula and an invention patent.

First of all, you need to know that patents are protected only through disclosure. Once you apply for it, it means that your formula is disclosed and known to everyone.

The formula generally plays a role in publicity. If you want to protect the formula and material ratio, this is very difficult, because it is difficult to prove whether others use the same materials and ratios as you.
