: Is it possible to patent a process if you were the originator of that process, but it has been in the public for under a year & a few other companies have adapted your process?

Dear Patrick,
If there has been public use in the US more than one year before the patent application is filed, no valid patent can issue. Improvements may be patentable.

Just getting a patent can be an expensive mirage.
