ntellectual property laws protect trade secrets such as formulas and computer source codes.

That is correct. Intellectual property laws are designed to protect various forms of intellectual property, including trade secrets. Trade secrets refer to confidential information that are valuable and give a competitive advantage to a company. This can include formulas, processes, methods, or any valuable information that is not generally known or easily discoverable by others. Trade secret protection ensures that unauthorized individuals do not access or use these valuable assets without proper authorization, ensuring companies can maintain their competitive edge in the market.
