I'm working on a fairly clever stack that could streamline my data management. It's not my business's secret sauce and I really don't want to waste time and resources obtaining a process patent. What I don't want to have happen is some NOE file for a process patent on this concept and then shake me down several years from now. For open source code we have the MIT and GNU licensing agreements. Is there something similar for patents? Could I submit my process to that entity and then they freely license the patent under via GNU or something similar?
