What benefit is there to waiting to file a patent application?
One can wait up to a year after the first public disclosure or offer for sale to file a U.S. patent application. The principal benefit in waiting is to gain further understanding of the commercial viability of the invention before investing in patent protection. Waiting does risk forgetting to file and forever losing the right to obtain patent protection.
