| Nov 8, 2015 at 5:00 | comment | added | SRDC | To clarify, the AIA provides that someone cannot obtain a patent unless they invented it. Neither can their 'prior art' count against you if they obtained it through you (or through someone who obtained it through you). The one year is a grace period to allow the inventor time to file an application, it was never intended to allow invention 'stealing' - to knowingly file an application in such a way would be illegal. | |
