Patents  

Keep it Quiet!

If you demonstrate, sell or discuss your invention in public before you file a patent application, you can lose the opportunity to patent it.

You may talk to employees, business partners or advisers about your invention but only on a confidential basis. Written confidentiality agreements with these people are advisable.

You should be aware that the rules regarding disclosure and grace periods have changed.
