Can Blockchain Be A ‘Reasonable Step' To Keep Trade Secrets Safe?

Blockchain and Trade Secrets: an interesting combination, surely, but how do they fit? It is worth to mention that know-how and trade secrets are among those intangible assets which have historically been difficult to protect for companies, as they do not fall under the scope of the more classical intellectual property rights, by nature (actually, by law) easier to protect or to enforce. The most frequent and recurrent example of a trade secret is the Coca-Cola recipe, kept secret for generations of CEOs, and apparently often changed, as the rumours whisper. This example shows the importance of trade secrets and the investments that companies make in order to protect such valuable information.
