Why should one file before the first public disclosure or offer for sale?
Filing a patent application before the first public disclosure or offer for sale permits later filing in foreign countries. It also allows one to mark their product patent pending, which can provide a practical protection when introducing a new product into the market. Another advantage is that people often forget to file a patent application in a timely manner if they do not file the application before bringing the product into the market.
