Conceivement Established By Lawyer

Question. Like an inventor's journal and the PTO's Disclosure Program, can the day you gave your lawyer the drawings and description of your idea be used as a witnessed date of conceivement?

I would think so.  There may be a risk of waiving attorney-client privilege.  I'm not a litigator, so I'm not sure how significant a risk there is and if there are ways around it.

Regards.

You can certainly use the information provided to your attorney as proof of conception.   As an examiner I saw that done a few times.  You can redact stuff from the information you provide as long as you provide the minimal evidence necessary to show conception.

Thank you for the replies. I figured you could, but was not sure.
