No. The way to lock it open is to hire a good, yet oddball patent attorney to help you decide
how to make claims, patent them, then assign the rights to a trust-fund-like foundation to manage
in perpetuity for benefit of ______, and you fill in "__for_everyone___", and hand it over to them
forever. IP is still old fashioned -- like battling dinosaurs. Leaving something for everyone
to benefit from is so foreign, some attorneys have difficulty with the language and misunderstand it
until spelled out.
