"Don’t make it easy for them. Require registration before granting access to whitepapers, detailed documents, or video tutorials that delve into the behind-the-scenes details. Think twice about being on customer lists or advertising the ins and outs of your business, the products you use, etc., unless there’s a good business reason for doing so."

This seems like a great way to kneecap your business. Make it hard for potential customers to evaluate you (so they end up choosing companies that are more open), make it less likely that you will get positive buzz in tech or press circles, make it less likely that people will feel confident about your product as a result of understanding it, and make it harder for new customers to learn how to use your product. All because you're afraid of patent suits!
