discovery of the effect of the combination of certain matters. 
     2. Instances have occurred of secrets of that kind being kept for many 
years, but they are liable to constant detection. As such secrets are not

securing the exclusive right for years, under the patent laws, to keeping 
them in an insecure manner, without them. See Phil. on Pat. ch. 15; Gods. on 
Pat. 171; Dav. Pat. Cas. 429; 8 Ves. 215; 2 Ves. & B. 218; 2 Mer. 446; 3

SECRET. That which is not to be revealed. 
     2. Attorneys and counsellors, who have been trusted professionally with 
the secrets of their clients, are not allowed to reveal them in a court of

client applies for professional advice or assistance; and it does not appear 
that the protection is qualified by any reference to proceedings pending or 
in contemplation. Story, Eq. Pl. Sec. 600; 1 Milne & K. 104; 3 Sim. R. 467. 
     3. Documents confided professionally to the counsel cannot be demanded,
