That, or file a 'statutory disclosure' of the invention. IANAL but AFAIK it's
cheaper and counts as prior art wrt subsequent filings.
A statutory disclosure also does not appear to me to carry the risk of a
patent monopoly falling into the wrong hands. If a 'good guy' owner of a real
patent becomes insolvent, as a capital asset might it end up being auctioned
to the highest bidder?
