What if you don't actually want a patent, but you also don't want a competitor locking up your idea and using it against you later? In this episode, we dive into defensive publications, a powerful but often overlooked strategy for putting your idea into the public domain on your terms. We talk about how defensive publications work, when they make sense, and how they can quietly block competitors from getting patents without the time, cost, and commitment of filing one yourself.
