I've heard of that for design patents, but with the careful legal writing needed to get
a fundamental or derivative process patent at all, just filing may not be enough.
It's probably necessary to learn a little about patent writing to
properly "expire a patent app to public domain".

What are the guidelines for publishing prior art in Europe so as to preclude patentability?
