Delay in registering a patent for an invention can provide enormous disadvantages, For example, Alexander Graham Bell is known as the inventor of the telephone. In fact, it was Antonio Meucci who invented the telephone in 1849, but he did not have the money to pay for a telephone patent because he was poor at that time. Then in 1876, Bell filed for a telephone patent.. Antonio Meucci summoned a lawyer to protest at the United States Patent Office in Washington, but he lost the case. After more than a century Antonio Meucci died, on June 11 2002 at the United States congress, Antonio Meucci was appointed as the inventor of the telephone.
From the explanation and examples above, it is clear that the understanding and registration of Patents is very important. Ignorance of patents and delays in registering patents can cause huge losses. Therefore, we must understand patents and register patents immediately if we have an invention, so we won't regret it in the future.
