Patenting before marketing

Another aspect of fundamental importance is that a patent must be applied for before marketing the invention or proposing it to companies in the sector. This is for 3 reasons:
  • First, the presentation of the invention not protected by a pending patent could result in a disclosure that would make subsequent patenting impossible due to the lack of novelty requirement
  • Secondly, patent protection would prevent a company interested in the invention from producing and marketing it without the authorization of the patent holder in the countries where the patent is protected.
