Wanted to keep everyone updated on progress, but I'm stuck in an odd place.Have some nice pixel-perfect Photoshop comps of our first app done which I am just dying to show you guys for feedback, as well as discuss the first app, but I have fallen waaay behind on the patent side of things while I worked on these. The catch here is that if I show and discuss the app in public before filing, even if I get the patent, you are more or less are assured that your patent will be invalidated should you try to enforce it.
The other consideration is that this is pretty much a 1.125 man dev shop. So if we disclose too early, we can get beat to market by competitors in a similar space. (Hence the reason we are looking into a patent for this app's utility in the first place)
So once I figure out whether or not we're going to file something (and file it) , I'll have some pretty pictures soon. For now, here's a touchscreen screenshot which has been approved by legal.
Anyone else been caught in this situation? Would love the feedback.
