Did you know that despite your having disclosed your invention, it might not be too late to file a patent application?

There is a grace period or "extended" deadline in the US for filing US patent applications:  it's one year after the inventor's own first pubic disclosure of the invention.  This is in stark contrast with Europe, where you must file a patent application before you or anyone else publishes information about the invention.   Note that there is a grace period similar to that of the US in Switzerland for Swiss design applications.

Any questions?  Just contact me for further clarification or save your questions for the next IP Meetup.
