Proprietary technologies are any types of systems, tools, or technical processes that are developed by and for a specific business entity. Proprietary technologies are confidential concepts, formulas , software codes , technical information , specific process and tools that provide competitive advantage to a firm and is usually protected under the law against unauthorized disclosure, misuse or stealing.

if a business develops a specific formula for a cleaning agent that uses ingredients not used by similar products, there is a good chance that new cleaner would allow the business to capture additional market share, based on the uniqueness of the formula. Since the formula uses ingredients that are unique in the industry, it would be possible to patent the formula and thus hold proprietary right to the use of that formula.

the ideas developed and submitted by employees are usually considered the intellectual property of the employer, thus allowing them to qualify as proprietary technology.

We are dependent on patents and proprietary technology, both our own and those licensed from others. If we or our licensors fail to adequately protect this intellectual property or if we otherwise do not have exclusivity for the marketing of our products, our ability to commercialize products could suffer Our ability to compete is dependent in part upon our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets, copyright and trademark laws, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements, and technical measures to protect our proprietary rights
