protectable
Able to shield
Protectable describes something capable of being protected or eligible for protection.
The word appears most often in legal and intellectual property contexts: Is this design protectable under trademark law?
A protectable interest is one the law recognizes as worthy of defense.
Outside legal usage, protectable simply means able to be safeguarded: The data is protectable with proper encryption.
