In Sun Dial Corp. v. Rideout, 16 N.J. 252, 257, 108 A.2d 442 (1954), the New Jersey Supreme Court discussed the ideas and information that can constitute a trade secret and commented that "the fact that every ingredient is known to the industry is not controlling for the secret may consist of the method of combining them which produces a product superior to that of competitors." The selection of particular ingredients for a formula from a vast array of publicly known possible ingredients may result in trade secret protection for the specific selection made. Thus, a secret selection and combination of ingredients may constitute a trade secret even though the separate parts of that combination are known to the industry.
