A research validity issue and a work around I am working for a company that wants me to do a research related to using some sort of a technology. The research (which is going to be published) requires me to use a piece of a hardware which uses that technology. The company demands that I do all the analysis and the experiments to achieve the goal without mentioning the name of the hardware used which is an important part of the research. 

Should I mention the hardware without referring to the name of the hardware?

I have used many resources related to that piece of hardware and I will not be able to mention them in the bibliography. Is this legal?

Does this affect the validity of the research?

What do researchers do in such a situation?

According to your experience is there a work around?
If you're going to publish a scientific paper, you need to give information on all of the significant methodology required to achieve the result.

It sounds like you are being asked to publish a paper that would be concealing vital information about its methods.  That may be legal, but it is clearly scientifically unethical, and reviewers in a quality venue would likely call you out on that failure.

If you're just doing the research for internal use (or informal publication, e.g., as a corporate technical whitepaper), then there is no expectation of methods disclosure, and there is no ethical barrier to being as vague as you like about your methodology.
