Hopefully you are aware that anything patentable that you have created
and you publicly disclose, by posting here or placing on your web site
for example, without first having a patent application, instantly
becomes public domain in most countries, and starts a one year clock for
a patent application in the US. After that one year you will be unable
to obtain a valid patent in the US. At least that's the way things used
to be. I haven't kept up with changes in recent years.
Lets try this again. Thanks for the info! As far as I know it becomes Prior Art
in the U.S., and open-source/public-domain in various other countries.
My stated goal is to freely give away such a device to the world and patent it
in the U.S. Furthermore I would encourage people to build such a device to
personal use and/or build such units for others incapable of building such a
device for free or for profit.
Anyhow, getting back to my post, people who are researching or developing any
possible so-called "Free Energy" machine or who may one day want to do so should
take caution in signing Steorns NDA.
