Published patent application[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Patent Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by Henry S. on April 28, 2003 at 01:18:58: I have read that the US PTO will disclose your patent application to the public after a period of six months or so if you intend to foreign file. Why is this? If two companies have similar inventions and both have pending patent applications, this could potentially benefit or disadvantage one of the companies applying for a patent could it not? Couldn't one of the competing parties rewrite their claims based upon the competitors claims?
