Although inventions in Italy can be protected as trade secrets, the best way of protecting innovations is by applying for a patent.
Patents

As far as the Italian territory is concerned, an application for a patent can be filed with the Italian patent and trademark office (the UIBM) or the European Patent Office (the EPO).
