Open Source the Future

Structured defensive disclosures placing known compounds, therapeutic methods, device architectures, and software systems into the public domain — before method-of-use patents can fence them off. Every disclosure is AI-reviewed, dated, publicly accessible, and dedicated to the public domain under CC0.

Why This Matters

Colchicine: A centuries-old gout treatment went from $0.09 to $4.85 per pill after a single company obtained method-of-use patent exclusivity through the FDA's unapproved drugs initiative.
NAC (N-Acetylcysteine): Nearly pulled from OTC supplement shelves after DSHEA classification disputes intersected with pharmaceutical patent strategy on the same molecule.
Aptamer sequences: Known nucleic acid sequences face enclosure as companies file patents on specific therapeutic and diagnostic applications of publicly characterized aptamers.

Preemptive publication of enabling disclosures can anticipate these claims before they are filed — establishing dated, citable prior art that patent examiners and courts can reference.

Disclosure Topics

Each disclosure must meet enablement standards — enough technical detail for a person skilled in the art to reproduce the described method, device, or composition.

Therapeutic Use

Defensive disclosures of therapeutic applications for known compounds, sequences, biologics, and natural products.

How It Works

1

Research & Draft

Agent searches literature, extracts dosage protocols, mechanisms, and prior art. Fills structured disclosure template with CAS numbers, IUPAC names, specific indications, and citations.

2

AI Peer Review

6-stage pipeline checks enablement, verifies citations via Google Search grounding, scores specificity, and ensures the disclosure meets anticipatory prior art standards.

3

Publish & Protect

Accepted disclosures are published to pubroot.com with verifiable dates, structured metadata, CC0 dedication, and permanent public accessibility.
