Almost as dumb as the person who tried to steal Coca Cola’s inner can coating trade secrets
You not going to tell us about the Coca Cola guy now?
We could ask ChatGPT, but having more content here can’t hurt.
It was pretty recent, so you won’t find it in GPT. A chemist was going to be laid off, and in a last ditch effort she copied a bunch of formulas and applied for grants to develop them in China iirc. Here’s an article: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/coca-cola-chemist-gets-14-years-for-passing-can-secrets-to-china
Thanks. That article had a paywall I’ve linked an alternative for others if they find this.
Interesting read. I don’t know how I feel about a company patenting something which has massive health benefits for people like this though.

Trade secrets aren’t patented because when you patent something, it’ll immediately become public knowledge (not secret anymore) in exchange for exclusive right (no one can use it without your permission) until the patent expires. Coca cola recipe and KFC’s secret spices are examples of trade secrets. If they’re patented, people would’ve been able to create exact copies by now.
The “secret spices” are salt, pepper, paprika, powdered garlic, powdered onion, and some other stuff. Cayenne in the spicy ones. It’s not a secret. People didn’t discover fried chicken yesterday.
‘some other stuff’ where’s the rest of the 11 herbs
I guess there’s no onion powder, but the ingredients are pretty simple to taste.

The most recent training cutoff point is April 2023, so ChatGPT should be able to give an answer to that.
