Corrections
A case file is only as useful as its evidence. If we get a fact wrong, we will correct it and explain a substantive change where readers encountered the claim.
Report an error
Email obscurepatentdangers@gmail.com with the subject line “Correction.” Include the article URL, the exact wording you dispute, the proposed correction and a supporting source. An original document or a precise page reference helps us check the issue. Organizations and people discussed in our coverage can use the same address to supply a response or additional evidence.
How changes are recorded
Substantive factual corrections receive a dated note on the affected article stating what was wrong and what changed. If an error undermines a central conclusion, the note should say so plainly. Minor spelling, punctuation and formatting fixes may be made without a correction note.
New evidence is labeled as an update when it changes what is known after publication. We distinguish those updates from corrections to claims that were already wrong.
Disagreement with our analysis is welcome. A factual challenge will be assessed against the evidence, including evidence that complicates or contradicts our original account.
