I was going through old posts and saw your post. I didn't see your comment until just now because hackers have turned off my email notifications on this forum. I would say that once your patent is obtained to go to 3D printing related blog sites and tell them about your new invention. Probably the most prestigious of these would be . Also, talk to the , they are very popular when it comes to all things technology related.
Any body else know of any good places or methods?

great topic, great forum! I' d like to ask your opinion on a patenting issue regarding a 3D printing invention.
Brief introduction and background: started building a dlp printer in 2012 with very limited resources and manged to put together a decent machie over the past years. Since 2014 as a start up trying to establish a 3D printing business in the Central European region. Continuing printer developments we had an idea that we beleive has a good potential in keeping 3D technology moving forward.
We are in a patent pending stage and would love to hear feedbacks from experienced users, 3D enthusiast, people who really understand additive manufacturing and all related issues, basically guys like you here at this forum.
Application went into the local patent office in august last year, we still have 7 months to take it to PCT level but the patent attorney said that if we share any information without NDA during this period we will not be able to add anything (additional info, claims) to the PCT. As we are still in testing mode adding more experiment based knowledge into PCT is definitely an option we would like to keep. As you guys mentioned before NDA - no matter how well written it is - does not seem to offer enough protection.
We want to go public as soon as we can but then again not sure how to do this right.
Any opinion on the above mentioned would be highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Marton

When I was doing my research I learnt that you shouldn't show the specifics of your invention in public before patent pending, if you do, you could lose some rights. Easiest is to just not show anything to anybody until patent pending and don't give specifics to anybody until patent pending. This is why with all our videos we only show the parts being printed, we don't show what we do to achieve it. There is a step after patent pending that costs a bit more than patent pending and then you are protected internationally for another 18 months. When your 12 months + 18 months have expired I believe you then need to start paying in every country where you want the patent, every year, for a very long time. This is my understanding, could be wrong. More focused on the printers than the patent law, that is what the attorney is for
We paid alot more than $500, because multiple searches had to be done and alot of people where working on the patent pending. The $500 is probably the lowest without patent searches and just putting something together quickly. Like most things, you get what you paid for and if you believe your invention is worth a billion, like Carbon, get someone that will do a proper job.

In my case, I am extremely cautious about anything having to do with online. You would never catch me making any kind of disclosure whatsoever online. There is just too much hacking activity going on in the world these days. Even if I were to publish an invention at numerous online outlets, was to prevent some well-organized hacker group from getting in to each of those places and deleting the information? Yes I know it sounds absurd, and I could even publish my invention in other ways such as media outlets that have no relation to online, but I'm just the kind of person that likes to deal in absolutes and not have to worry about anything that I can think of that can go wrong .
Even filing has a small degree of risk since one would need to deal with third parties. Although, I don't take my paranoia that far.

With in the past year I sighn a NDA with something different than what I am working on right now and I can see now
what the purpose was for.
I beleive it is a treasure for me and many others who are working in the "Basement of the science building" to read what you
shared with us.
Thank You. Thank You, Thank You.
