The BioBricks Foundation, an organization bringing the spirit of open source to genetic programming, engaged me to develop Public Domain Chronicle, a fast, easy, and free way to secure scientific methods and findings for the public domain.

Public Domain Chronicle combines elements of defensive publication, open-access scholarship, and commons licensing to make public domain advocates the fastest runners in the race to publish, preventing others from patenting their findings.
PDC's disclosure form for findings in biology is shorter and easier than any standard corporate or academic invention-disclosure process, and produces an immediate, public, republishable prior art record.

It's early days for the project, and we're seeking out as many potential researcher-contributors as possible. We're particularly keen to hear from academic scientists and folks in corporate tech transfer offices who may prefer PDC to expensive defensive publication services.
