1. Comment - IBM to Publish its Patent Applications

   (Sep 28, 2006 - 2:00 AM)

   Of the text by divinelogic --Instead of relying on patents and trademarks to "own" intellectual properties, companies should freely publish it's [sic] ideas, innovations, and inventions to a global marketplace.-- note that IBM is posting its patent applications AFTER it has filed them with the USPTO. IBM still plans to use patents to own its intellectual property.
   
   Separately, the consequences of telling IBM about prior art in IBM's "six month window" for comments are not clear.

2. Comment - IBM to Publish its Patent Applications

   (Sep 28, 2006 - 1:56 AM)

   Of the text --Patent applications are already a matter of public record, though arguably, the US Patent and Trademark Office may not always get around to publishing applications online in an immediate fashion - since it deals with thousands of applications at any one time.-- the USPTO does publish applications in about 18 months and usually pretty much on time.
