of course it is real.why don't you ask KFC what the "secret recipe" is? they will say it's our intellectual property, and not show you.I don't know how you can ask if something that does exist, exists?

thanks for the clarification.what about software? We have software engineers here who program and design specific tools for a specific piece of software. The software is designed by another company that is sold publicly, and any here could purchase it. but our tools that we have created in-house, are not for sale and are not for use, even by the company that designed the program on which the tools run.If I were to quit working here and go to our competitor across the street, I am not allowed to use the tools nor show them how to run the tools, because they are intellectual property, and I have a strict NDA.Edited by Artemis Entreri, : No reason given.

because you want to talk about intellectual property and some notion about "is it real" this topic is not about NDAs.

no laws just contracts?roflmfao what is the difference?what would keep one from breaking a contract if not for what do you call them [rhetorical]?laws.
