From Wikipedia:
A patent is a form of intellectual property that gives its owner the legal right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period of years in exchange for publishing an enabling public disclosure of the invention.
So, yes, an _enabling_ public disclosure is exactly the purpose of a patent.
- cptskippy 6y agoPublic disclosure of the thing being patented, not all aspects of how you plan to produce and distribute it. In fact, those details are open for additional patents.
