Process patents aren’t mandatory…trade secrets are actually better.. when you file process patents, you end up teaching your competitors valuable information and making it easier for them.

I spent the better part of my career reverse engineering competitors’ patents and devising ways to circumvent them. You should patent the “dead ends” and financially impractical approaches to make competitors go down the wrong path. Red herrings!
