Some of the reasons why the U.S.molding industry plays it close to the vest and does not participate in latest-development conferences like Antec:The rule of law has changed.The First to Invent rule has been replaced in U.S.patent law with First to File as part of GATT harmonization with Japanese and EU patent practices (see http://inventors.about.com/od/first toinvent/).This means if you publicize your patentable commercial molding development in an Antec paper without having filed your U.S.patent and further protecting it with a PTC (Patent Treaty Convention) filing in 72 countries,you run the risk of losing the right to make the product.
