Defensive Publication

Filing a patent application and getting a patent granted is expensive. If your invention does not warrant the high cost associated with patent application, you can get your invention published as a defensive publication. By doing this, your invention enters the public domain and thus, can act as a prior art to patent applications describing the same invention. In a way, you can stop your competitors from getting patents.

We draft defensive publications that provide description and artwork of a product, device or method so that it enters the public domain and becomes prior art. Such publications do not contain claims but, they must include a detailed enabling description of the inventions with illustrations, if required. We will also help you in deciding where to publish these documents.
