Verification
& date stamping
RD’s
publication date provides a verifiable date stamp to the disclosure that
has proven legal precedent throughout the world. The RD Journal is published
by the 12th of every month and the month of publication establishes a
verifiable date that the invention or idea did indeed exist at that time.
As the journal is lodged in libraries and patent offices worldwide every
month it qualifies the content, ie a particular disclosure, as being available
to the public at large. It is often sufficient just to quote the date
of receipt of the relevant issue in a library of any country.

There
are several instances where RD has been successfully cited in challenges
to patents granted after a prior art disclosure in the journal. All disclosures
submitted will be also be included in the RD database by the 12th of the
month. |
