How do you bury a patent? They are all published, aren't they?

When he says bury what he means is that no one can use it to build something. The company just holds it to prevent everyone else from using the idea.

I'd love to know the patent number just to see how it works. I wonder if there are countries you could build and sell the device in?

Sigh. Patents should really be use-it-or-lose-it.
