Some Trade Secrets are eligible for Patent Registration; however, many businesses opt not to apply for patents, because once it is published as a patent, it no longer has the protection of the Trade Secret laws.

Maintaining a Trade Secret, with the protection of Trade Secret Laws is an alternative to Patent Registration protection; However, this means of protection has it's own risks. Here are a few ways that a Trade Secret can be maintained:

Well drafted, comprehensive Confidentiality Agreements, Non-Disclosure Agreements, that address trade secrets.
Non-Compete Agreements
Executive Contract
Appropriate Employee Exit Interviews
