In this paper, we propose a flow diagram based formulation of the conditions on protecting patent and trade secret in information systems by interpreting legal concepts in engineering manner as a reference to researchers and practitioners. First, we propose the condition on patenting the novel combination of prior disclosed computer programs. Second, we propose the condition on proper specification of the parameter setting components as patentable computer programs. Finally, we propose the condition on protecting the numerical parametric values as trade secret in patentable parameter setting components. We also show the case study for its feasibility check of our formulation.
