This is one of the main
reasons behind such publications as the IBM Technical Journal--the
publication of results not worth patenting themselves, but definitely
worth preventing others from patenting.
Actually, no. IBM has a separate publication for just that purpose.
The Technicnal Journal (and others like it) are intended as PR vehicles
and as gold stars for researchers -- that's an important part of our
salary, as it were.
