Publicly disclosing your invention before you file a patent application can be a grave mistake. This is one of the most terrifying things an inventor can do. In the U.S., you can lose your right to patent your invention if you talk about it publicly more than one year before you file. In some countries, once it’s public, there’s a shorter grace period or no grace period at all.
