- Patents
- Trade secrets
- Non-disclosure agreements
- Business models that rely on, assume, or enforce scarcity of essentially non-scarce resources
- R&D departments of companies that do not collaborate with any other R&D departments of other related companies

- Business models where lack of access to information is the foundation of a business model.
