The inventor should ask the patent attorney to explain the ability to obtain foreign patent rights covering the invention, considering the possibility of any prior public disclosure by the inventor that may have adversely affected such foreign patent rights. The attorney should explain to the inventor whether or not there has been any affect on foreign patent rights due to the prior activities of the inventor before the initial invention disclosure meeting. The subject of foreign patent rights is covered in more detail in Chapter 16.
