PATENTABLE CONTENT AND STATE OF THE ART SOLUTIONS:
Please take note that once a state-of-the-art solution is published anywhere online, this may create patenting issues to the author later on. For instance if a patentable solution is published before the filing date of a patent application, the novelty of the application and patentability will be jeopardized. For this reason, users must ensure before publishing that no patentable issues may arise as a result of their publication to our site.
