Comments:
: : 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? : Dear Henry S, : Rewriting you claims will not avoid infringement of someone elses patent. : M.
