Applications submitted to us become official documents. However, we don't disclose information about business operations, inventions or research results if it can be assumed that someone will suffer economic damage if we do.
This means that we must disclose the documents if someone requests them. However, we can black out information if we believe it could cause economic harm if disclosed.
