Defensive Publication: A $0 Alternative to Patents for Bootstrapped SaaS

1•patentailab•1h ago
I see many founders spending $20k+ on patents too early. I wanted to share a cheaper engineering-focused strategy called "Defensive Publication" (using GitHub + Wayback Machine to establish Prior Art under 35 U.S.C. 102).

I wrote a detailed breakdown on how to structure the "Enabling Disclosure" so it actually holds up in court: https://patentailab.com/defensive-publication-strategy/

Has anyone here successfully used defensive publication to block a patent troll?

> to block a patent troll

A simpler way to drastically improve the situation is to remove that one judge in TX through impeachment or other legal avenues (perhaps ending court shopping as an option).
