Abstract
Many companies use both patents and trade secrets to protect inventions. However, since these two forms of protection are mutually exclusive in a fundamental regard (i.e., whether or not to disclose an invention), companies must often chose between the two forms of protection. Each has advantages over the other that should be carefully considered when forming the appropriate intellectual property strategy.
