Open ground

Techniques we published so nobody could fence them off

Every disclosure here is free to read and free to build on. We published them instead of filing, because keeping the ground open was worth more than owning it.

When a health system, device maker, insurer, research organization, or platform operator depends on a technique, the worst outcome is somebody else patenting it. Publishing puts the idea in the prior art with a date, which makes that filing much harder to obtain and much easier to defeat.

Engineers should read these before assuming a technique is owned. Anyone who needs a dated citation for an examiner or opposing counsel can use the entries here directly.
