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.
