That's the way it works in the USA, where they have a 'first to invent' law. It's different in Europe, where it's a 'first to apply for a patent' law.I guess if you can prove that you have the earliest record of the idea then you may be protected
Well If you discuss the concepts in detail in an open forum you won't be able to get a valid patent for them in EuropeOh and the invention i would like to protect is not really this non proven concept of brushless rectification without diodes or fets. Is would be to protect some of the generator designs that i have thought of. I will be working more on these in December so if we start to get anywhere with the concepts i'll fill you all in on what they are.
