Patent right is the exclusive right of the inventor or his assignee to exploit a specific invention within a certain period of time. The patent right shall be subject to the specification and drawings of the patent application or product design. Once the patent right is approved, it will be made public, not ten years later.
If you think the technology is hidden and don't want to be known by outsiders, you can do your own security measures without applying for a patent. In this case, technical secrets are also protected by law.
