Is patent a trade secret?

Trade secrets belong to the category of intellectual property rights, but compared with general intellectual property rights (trademark rights, patents, copyrights), trade secrets have their own particularity. The subject of general intellectual property obligations is not specific, and the object of its right positioning is anyone (within the efficiency range of legal space), which has the effect of resisting the third party, exclusiveness and absoluteness, and is ownership. However, trade secrets are a kind of right arising from "taking security measures" within a certain range of people, and they have no function against bona fide third parties outside a certain range of people. As long as it is not an improper means, the third party may disclose the business secrets obtained in good faith.
