Richard,

Quite often process patents, while teaching in broad terms, remain sufficiently general as to not divulge the specifics of the process. Often they will list a range of conditions over which the process is claimed but the specific conditions where the process operates most efficiently won't be revealed. A reader of the patent might still be required to do considerable testing to determine how the process actually works and the most appropriate operating conditions.

The papent provides protection and in return must do a limited amount of "teaching", but a company will often times still safeguard the specific operational parameters it is using.

Having said that, it will still be interesting to read the patent when it actually publishes.
