- falsestprophet 16y agoYeah, so publish it. Publish it here right now.
- djd 16y agonot my idea else i would have :P
- arethuza 16y agoI would imagine that publishing the idea would leave the friend liable for legal action. It is highly (as dangrossman has already pointed out) that your friend has already signed something that assigns all IP created during a course.
- bajsejohannes 16y agoThis only works if the patent has not been applied for yet. Is this the case?
- dctoedt 16y agoThat's true for most non-U.S. countries. In the U.S. and a very few other countries, however, an inventor has a one-year grace period after publication (or offer for sale, or "public" use) in which to file a patent application.
