"Research Disclosure" is a defensive-type publication serving the =
scientific
& patent communities worldwide, from a journal published every month =
and
which contains abstracts describing new discoveries or inventions. The =
pages
of the journal are available to companies who, due to the special =
nature of
the invention, seek a low cost alternative, or supplement, to obtaining
patents and require prompt publication whilst maintaining freedom for =
their
own use of that invention.
In effect, the act of publication bars others from obtaining patent =
rights
on the invention described, because the effective date of publication =
(which
is the 10th of each month) establishes prior art. Disclosures in the =
journal
may be accredited or published anonymously in order to protect company
confidentiality.(...)"
I'm used to order these publications from my local Patent Office (i.e. =
INPI
/ France) because they have this collection in their library.
The publisher of this journal is :
Kenneth Mason Publications Ltd
Dudley House
12 North Street
Emsworth
Hampshire PO 10 7DQ
UK
Their site :
