Why Some Patent Applications Are Published and Others Are Kept Secret. EP176
Episode 176
Tuesday, 28 July, 2026
Why does one patent show up online for the whole world to see while another seems to stay completely invisible for years? In this episode, we unpack the surprisingly strategic reasons behind patent publication and secrecy, including the default 18-month rule, the little-known nonpublication option, and how a single checkbox at filing can change your entire IP strategy. If you've ever wondered whether publishing helps or hurts your invention, or how secrecy can quietly lock you into a U.S.-only path, this is one of those topics that can save you from an expensive "I wish I'd known that sooner" moment.
