So, you think a trade secret implementation is necessary before publishing,
and maybe publish with patent attorney help if it is a good one with
conceptually nearby patented competition?

It seems much open hardware is less competitive than that, but you can see
how genetically engineered chem/drug factories-in-a-bug are the ultimate
in multiplication of a monopolist's effort, so it must have attracted droves of
them in guise of biologists. Perhaps herds of biologists are also managed by monopolist bosses
with those familiar tech job IP agreements where the company owns all your output.
