Intellectual Property Attorneys: Protect, Enforce, and Monetize Your IP
These four rights protect different things, arise at different moments, and are lost in different ways. Patents run on a clock you may have already started. Public disclosure begins a one-year window to file, and it applies to a conference talk, a pitch deck, or a product launch. Miss it and the right is gone permanently.
