Hello!
Patents trade disclosure for protection, and the patent applied for must be disclosed.
Unless it involves national defense or military industry or public interests, you can apply for confidentiality.
If you want to keep it confidential, it is recommended that you keep the trade secrets yourself and not apply for a patent.
For example, the formula of Coca-Cola is regarded as a trade secret and cannot be copied by others without applying for a patent.
In addition, after applying for a patent and obtaining the patent right, if a third party manufactures, uses, sells, offers to sell, or imports patented products for profit without the permission of the patentee, they can safeguard their rights through judicial channels and obtain compensation.
