Divulging trade secret information, even under the terms and safeguards noted in a license can involve the risk of loss of the trade secret, and often it is beneficial to structure the license so that a trade secret is not divulged. One possible solution is to structure the license so that the licensor provides a trade secret ingredient package under the terms of the license for use in making the Tropical Island Cheese product. The most famous example of this is the Coca-Cola® syrup that is delivered to Coca-Cola® bottlers who have licensed the right to produce Coca-Cola® soda, but who never gain access to the trade secret.
