If you are interested in patent protection for your invention outside the United States, please consult with a patent attorney before disclosing any information to (us) (the forum). Disclosure of an invention before filing for patent protection may preclude you from filing for and obtaining patent protection in certain foreign countries. For instance, if there is public disclosure any where, in any way, prior to the filing of a European patent application (or a United States application from which priority can be based), then the applicant is barred from filing the European application.

This information should not be considered legal advice for any particular issue. Consultation with a patent attorney is recommended.
