Reply to comment by DavoTB in TIL If Coca-Cola's inventor had decided to file a patent application in 1892 instead of keeping the recipe a secret, patent protection would have expired long before Pepsi ever came onto the market in 1965. Patent protection lasts 20 years at most. Trade secrets can last forever. by ethereal3xp

1965 was when Pepsi-Cola Company merged with Frito Lay and formed PepsiCo Inc. Pepsi-Cola was first formulated in 1898 by Caleb Bradham.
