Gentlemen, The regulations at the patent office used to accept a
declaration for a patent claim if the claiment produced a written
description of his invention which was also signed and dated by another
person who stated that he had read it and understood its content, this
document gave the claiment to claim rights over all those that follow
that disclosure.
I seemed to remember that the PTO changed things with respect to how
they will deal with future claims where applications would be printed
to the World when received. Did this have any affect with respect to
the presigned declaration alluded to above?
Any info would be appreciated especially if claims presented to the
patent office provides
seniority over pre dated signed claims that have yet to be forwarded to
the PTO
Regards
