This is abit irrelevant to your topic but I don't think the weights are anything useful at all. The core value or IP which you need to protect is how you obtain the weight itself. This includes the proprietary training data and training pipeline. If you model can be trained from a huggingface transformer model and its training using transformers pipeline + dataset from the hub, I don't think its all that "intellectual" at all.Its like Windows 7 or 8 where pirate software cannot be avoided. But the value of microsoft is the engineers and experience of developing an operating system in billions of different hardware that will allow them to develop newer version of Windows which is the most valuable.

In the long term we do believe our strength is in the data and training, which is very hard to acquire. But, at least at the early stages, we would like to avoid someone reusing our model as it is.
