Hi,
You meet an inventor and become interested in acquiring his invention, which has not yet been filed for patent application. He mentions during discussion that he has just finished writing a lengthy manuscript for publication that discloses many of the important features of his invention.
Are the following correct?
The manuscript's publication will not be deleterious to the patent application because it only teaches what it says and what the skilled person would readily understand from it. And the disclosure of the provisional app. is exactly the same as the disclosure of the MS.
On the other hand, the provisional app's text may not be sufficient for enabling the eventual claims, because again it only contains the disclosure of the MS, which was not written with an eye toward supporting patent claims.
Thanks in advance for any inputs!
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
