Disclosure (Patents) – Disclosure refers to making an invention available to the public. A disclosure made outside the patent system, deliberately or not, will make the invention unpatentable. Within the patent system, the applicant must make a full and clear disclosure in the application of the invention for which protection has been solicited. In return a patent protection (exclusive rights for a limited time period) will be granted.
