About

The second path for inventions.

Depatent is the public defensive-publication surface in the Patentomania ecosystem by Agonist Development AB.

Why it exists

Not every invention should become a patent. Some ideas should be made public, dated, enabling, and findable so nobody can lock them up later.

How it connects

Patentomania handles the patent path. Depatent handles the public-domain prior-art path. The site routes visitors to the right choice on every public surface.
