| Apr 18, 2018 at 21:00 | comment | added | ohwilleke | This is quite a tricky area. Disclosing a prior invention, if done improperly, can prevent you or anyone else from patenting it and can deprive it of trade secret prevention, bringing the invention into the public domain. You really ought to consult a patent lawyer before taking a step like this one, if you want to retain economic value for your invention. Of course, if you have no interest in economically benefiting from your prior inventions you could disclose absolutely everything you can think of whether or not it strictly qualifies. | |
