Here is one reason Reverse Engineering is why patents are needed! Trade Secrets, let's say a secret ingredient for a process or perhaps your favorite fried chicken. Maybe only one or two people may know the secret. This is a trade secret, which may not be patentable. This is a simple explanation!

Another thing patents do not always contain the fine details of an idea, perhaps a block diagram or flow chart. The patent may not contain secret manufacturing information. This secret information is kept away from general public or employees.
