The holder of the right to protect trade secrets shall take necessary measures to protect the technology or business information that can bring economic benefits to himself and is not known to others. In the protection stage, the obligee bears a heavy burden of proof.
Contrast: For the technology that is easy to be cracked by echo engineering, or the technology that is still easy to be leaked after taking security measures, it is suggested to adopt patent protection, which is novel, creative and practical as required by the patent law; Patent protection has a time limit, and it will enter the public domain within 20 years at the longest, and anyone can use it.
If it is not easy to be cracked and the obligee does not want to make it public, it can take the form of trade secret protection. For example, the formula of Coca-Cola.
It doesn't matter which is more, the key is to protect the characteristics of the object.
