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.
