Two options: the claimed IP on the interface is removed or said to never have existed in the first place, and/or prevent bootloader locking.
First one is a very good idea, as older IP law actually holds that interfaces aren't copyrightable. US IP law is schizophrenic on this last point considering the Oracle ruling. E.g. you're free to implement an interface for compatibility.
