Research disclosure is a fast and effective method for protecting your inventions
Orbit Express is an application dedicated to engineers, researchers and managers who want to quickly and easily obtain information in their technical domain: patents and non patent literature, including defensive publications.
On the Non-Patent Literature view, you can filter with only defensive publication coming from our Research Dislclosure database.
To order a past copy of the Research Disclosure Journal or single Research Disclosure articles please supply us by email (info@researchdisclosure.com) with as many of the following details as possible.
- Journal publication month or issue numbe
- Individual disclosure number i.e. 679002
- Individual disclosure title
Defensive Publication is method to establish prior art by publishing details of an invention into the public domain, with the purpose to stop others obtaining a patent on the same invention. The end goal is to ensure the right to practice the published invention. Studies have revealed that up to two thirds of patenting organisations are using this method actively within their IP strategy.
The perhaps most effective channel to make an invention public is Research Disclosure, the industry standard defensive publication service, launched in 1960 and operated by Questel Ireland.
