CAUTION:
Proprietary

Controls
Advertisements often toss in the word patented to increase the appeal
of a product. If something about the product is patented, it must be
new, innovative and (ostensibly) worth the price premium. The word
proprietary, although not necessarily the same, nevertheless performs
a similar function. Proprietary technologies are unique and may seem
attractive to certain customers. But such technologies, even though
they may have advantages, also carry certain risks.
