If you disclose your product or sell it before you have a patent application on file, you may be barred from getting a patent due to the on-sale bar doctrine. But what if you have a secret METHOD, like a secret way to age steaks to make them more delicious, and you never disclosed or sold that that METHOD even though you sold the steaks? Does the on-sale bar apply to getting a patent for your secret METHOD or just apply to the physical steaks? A new case just cleared up this grey area. Listen to the episode and find out the answer!
