About 3Dresyns trade secrets
For 3Dresyns trade secret protection is a the better option than patents since patents are granted by disclosing the invention in full detail. The patent must describe the invention in such a detail that anyone would be able to copy the invention. Patent offices, upon receiving the applications, compare the disclosed invention to the prior art (which can be any publication that exists before the filing date of the application) and determine whether the invention is novel and nonobvious. If it is considered novel, the patent offices of the country at which the application has been addressed will issue a patent on the invention which subsequently publishes for public inspection.
A problem with patenting an invention, however, can arise if one or more of the world patent offices do not view the invention as novel, believes it is obvious, or constitutes unpatentable subject matter. The result is that non granted patents are published and disclosed to the public ending up without any protection on the invention.
For 3Dresyns trade secret is the best way for protecting its inventions. A trade secret means information, including but not limited to a technology, compositional formula, program, method, technique, or process, which are worth protecting from disclosure. Patent protection is granted in exchange for disclosing the invention to the public, whilst trade secret protection is granted to those who keep their inventions secret.
Another difference between patents and trade secrets is that patent protection lasts 20 years, whilst trade secret protection lasts as long as the trade secret is kept secret. Trade secrets are best suited for inventions that are not readily ascertainable by proper means, which is the case for 3Dresyns cutting edge products and technologies.
