<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Furthermore, open technology <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statutory_invention_registration">can publish</a> all those defensively as a way to preemt patents: </span>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>Historically, statutory invention registrations were used by applicants for publishing patent applications on which they no longer felt they could get patents. By publishing the patent applications, they helped ensure that the inventions were in the public domain and no one else could subsequently get a patent on them.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>As of the 1999 American Inventors Protection Act, however, most patent applications filed in the US have been published 18 months after they were filed. These published patent applications serve a similar purpose to a statutory invention registration. Once an application is published, an inventor need only let their application go abandoned in order to give up their right to a patent and dedicate the invention to the public.</em></span></p>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Either publish via registering an invention officially, or by publishing it on a highly visible website. Or by doing both. </span>
