There you have it--exactly as I was saying! Obviously publication cannot preceed the *invention* (unless you were perhaps publishing about a time machine ;-), but it can precede the *patent application* by one year.
Are you just the kind of ego who can't admit when he is wrong? It could be a problem with your reading comprehension but I seriously doubt you bothered reading the post from US Patent Office.
You still don't know what a patent is. Ignorance is curable but I am afraid you kind of stupidity is forever. Even when confronted with the official US Patent office release on what can be patented, you still persist.
I kind of want to ask just what makes you think that you know better then a guy who spent 35 years in R&D, two patent lawyers with a combined 80 years of experience, and the official web page of the US Patent Office but I am afraid you may answer.
I give you on you. PLONK! Rick
