In the case of a government forcing secrecy on your patent, thus blocking you from public ally commercialising it - is the governemnt then expected to compensate you in return for your loss?
- URSpider94 10y agoRTFA. The answer is generally no. As with most secrecy cases, it's really hard to prove that the tech has value, since you can't show it to anyone to gauge their interest.
- grkvlt 10y agoWould you not immediately start trying to commercialise the invention with the military? There are plenty of defence contractors with security clearances that you could show the secret patent to, and offer to secretly license it to them so they can make a device that has the obvious advantage that the government has declared an interest in it!
