If those are your convictions, then you have to do more than just not file; you ought to publish them in a way that allows them to be used in a prior art defense.
- cpeterso 15y agoWhat makes for good prior art? What is the best way to publish an idea or invention so it can be used in a prior art defense in the future?
- marshray 15y agoAren't there journals where you pay a small (in comparison) fee to publish your prior art in a place specifically where the patent office won't overlook it?
- Symmetry 15y agoIt can be hard. My dorm's laundry server[1] was actually Slashdotted shortly before someone filed for a patent on the idea of hooking up a webserver to a laundry machine. Luckily, being covered in the mass media does put you in a good position if you get a cease and desist letter, though. [1]http://laundry.mit.edu/ http://laundry.mit.edu/
