Providing patent applications and information to the public allows any competitors to see how aquaprin is being made. They can't use the same methods, however it might spur new ideas by competitors. As Howard is saying, the information is kept better in a 'trade secret' until they reach a point that they are close to production. It is actually better for Pharmstar (and us) the longer the application process is drawn out, because once it is approved it becomes available for public use in 7 years (I think). By delaying the actual application and approval process, a company can maintain their competitive advantage for longer than the 7 year period.

Just my thoughtssmile
