On Sale -

Présentation et Définitions Clés

If an inventor places his or her invention on sale more than one year before a US patent application is filed, then a valid patent cannot be obtained. This is sometimes referred to as the on-sale bar to a patent. An invention is on sale where it has actually been sold or an offer of sale has been made.
