Defensive publishing is a low cost way to prevent competitors from obtaining patents and protect your freedom to practice.


What is the IP.com Prior Art Database?

The Prior Art Database is a vehicle for defensively publishing ideas (often as "technical disclosures") in order to prevent someone else from patenting them. It assures an invention's novelty is established around the world.

The Prior Art Database is the venue of choice for the world's most innovative corporations, including IBM, Siemens, Motorola and many others. It allows both individuals and corporations to publish and search reliably and affordably.

The Prior Art Database is the new standard for establishing your inventions as prior art, allowing you to publish quickly online, on paper, or both, depending on your needs.

Prior Art Database Highlights

  • Promoted to and cited by the world's patent offices
  • Paper and electronic copies distributed free to many world libraries
  • Lowers access barriers via exposure to the Internet's search engines and other venues
  • Affordable and flexible publishing options, including anonymity
  • Free online searching and simple online document acquisition
