INTRODUCTION The patent system brings inventors' obscure technological feats to the public eye. (1) Without an intellectual property (IP) regime, innovators would keep their discoveries safely secured from competitors, consumers, and the general public. (2) Society would be starved of knowledge, science would limp forward, and useful information would be stored in a clandestine fashion. It is not hard to see why conventional wisdom holds this view. (3) To derive value from her insights, an inventor must transform abstract conceptions into a commercial product or license her discovery to a third party who will do the same. But if an inquisitive rival can inspect the end product and derive the underlying invention for himself, the inventor's ability to reap pecuniary reward from her innovation will be jeopardized. (4) To counter this dilemma--a problem deemed endemic in public goods--an inventor will have to manufacture complexity into her end product, artificially rendering it unsusceptible to reverse engineering. Like the myriad inventions that Da Vinci put to paper in impenetrable fashion, innovators would do everything within their power to mask their discoveries from unwelcome eyes. (5) The patent system should be celebrated for making such obfuscation unnecessary and promoting disclosure, (6) which undoubtedly brings about a variety of social benefits. (7) Such disclosure augments the storehouse of knowledge, thereby promoting incremental invention; facilitates efficient bargaining by clarifying property rights; and limits the scope of patents by preventing overclaiming. (8) Despite these supposed benefits, the characterization of the patent system as a regime that imparts knowledge is woefully incomplete. This Article explains that the contemporary embrace of disclosure by proponents of the patent system is misconceived. As a primary function of that system, disclosure is both ineffective and potentially poisonous to larger social goals. First, the extent to which patent documents successfully teach the inner workings of cutting-edge technologies is quite limited. (9) The information conveyed by many specifications is inadequate and, in practice, fails to reflect the legislative requirements of [section] 112. (10) Indeed, a minority of patents do not convey meaningful information of any kind. Patents in the information technology (IT) industry are perhaps the worst offenders, being notorious for their vague language. (11) Second, to the extent patents are drafted in a manner that is actually capable of conveying accurate information, third parties' disinterest stymies the disclosure function. (12) To a surprising degree, inventors simply ignore patents. (13) The sheer volume of outstanding patents, coupled with the lack of specificity in many claims and complications arising from the doctrine of equivalents, (14) makes an exhaustive search of the prior art expensive. …" @default.
