Savory Cooking Sauces, Inc., a U.S. business firm, makes and sells distinctively flavored cooking sauces. Although the recipes are secret, the ingredients could be revealed and the sauces could be reconstructed with diligent efforts. What can Savory do to prevent its products from being "decoded" and pirated abroad?
What will be an ideal response?
One possibility is that Savory Cooking Sauces, or any U.S. firm, or any domestic firm in any nation, can license its recipe, formula, product, or process to a foreign company to avoid the theft of the trade secret. The foreign firm would obtain the right to make and sell the product according to the recipe (or formula, or right to use the process, or other trade secret) and agree to keep the information confidential and to pay royalties to the licensing firm.
