What information should you book?

The risk does not depend solely on publishing complete plans. A sufficiently detailed demo, video, or explanation can reveal relevant technical features.

It must be assessed what the public really gets to know and if that information allows us to understand the solution developed.

before disclosing

It is convenient:

• Identify the technical contribution.
• perform a background search.
• study the way of protection.

Legal exceptions to loss of novelty are limited and vary between countries; They should not be used as a general rule to decide when to present.

Coordinated confidentiality and communication

When it is necessary to share information with manufacturers, collaborators or investors, a confidentiality agreement can establish access and use limits.

practical measures

The confidentiality agreement should be accompanied by practical measures:

• control the documents delivered.
• identify the receivers.
• Prevent reserved materials from ending up in public presentations.

a request with sufficient technical content

Submitting an incomplete text does not guarantee that all subsequent improvements are covered by the initial date.

Planning requires coordinating development with a suitable description of the invention.

Premark recommendation

We recommend reviewing the protection before announcing the technology or committing a release date. This analysis allows you to decide what can be communicated, what should be kept reserved and when to apply for the patent.

A good commercial presentation can arouse interest without unnecessarily revealing what is intended to be protected.
