The $20,000 Patent Question: Why IP.com Sometimes Tells Innovators to Publish Instead
For 26 years, IP.com has sold a peculiar form of protection: making selected inventions public. Now its AI software helps legal and R&D teams decide what deserves a patent - and what should become prior art before a rival gets there.
