The Federal Circuit Defines the “Public Disclosure” Exception to Prior Art Under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)(2)

July 31, 2024) recently addressed the prior art exception of a “public disclosure” under 35 USC § 102(b)(2)(B).  Affirming a decision of the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeals Board (“PTAB”), the court held that “publicly disclosed” is only satisfied if the invention was made available to the public, and a non-confidential but otherwise private sale of an invention is not a sufficient “public disclosure”.  This case provides a cautionary tale that disclosing or selling an invention before filing a patent application is fraught with risk.
