Sorry, I couldn't really help you there, I'm working in evolutionary biology, we don't do patents and industry much. However, I would tell that I don't believe pre-registration is the silver bullet for any research. Even beyond your case, there are much research in my area that is not hypothesis driven, more exploratory or completely inferential (which is totally OK!), for which pre-registration makes very little sense.
