Just FYI - the article mentions dating your proof of concept / idea / whatever in case you are late to file a patent.
To my knowledge there isn't any major government left that recognizes 'first to invent' anymore, only 'first to file'. So you probably haven't saved yourself anything.
- vog 13y agoYes, it's "first to file", but there is also the concept of "prior art". You cannot patent something that has been published before you filed that patent. Although this other person won't get your patent, you won't get it either.
