Wireless sensor network communication protocol and licensing

hello,

since first post, want read lot arduino , see potential in platform. keep it  guys.

back question. @ place work have nice , new technology wireless sensor network communication protocol. nice port technology towards arduino. technology developed in open innovation platform among companies. current status technology treated proprietary knowledge outside world. knowledge consists of smart algorithms in software (already patented). question possibilities release on arduino platform. instance possible release knowledge closed source library/stack, can used communication protocol.

we know open source platform, technology can used protocol without knowing how works in detail. since business model not yet determined technology not want make public open source yet. without open source aspect protocol can still of use in projects (research etc), , nice fun play it.

how can combine perspective of arduino our technology. think there lot of potential , therefor want release in community, before having business details in place.

thnx in advance replying.

cya take care

if technology patented smart algorithms public - 1 of central tenets of patent law make invention public when applying.  if course code implements these may not public.

you allow arduino community develop potentially compatible devices without revealing more public posting patent publication numbers , perhaps indicating of embodiments described in patent allow interaction commercial implementation.  patent has allow "skilled worker" reproduce invention , arduino community collectively pretty skilled if can done , worth effort rest!

looking forward seeing in action!
