What are the possible consequence of revealing an invention to the outside world before filing for patent protection?
Depending upon specific laws for patents in any country where you want protection, you could lose "complete novelty" and ruin your chances of obtaining any patent. Second, under US patent laws, you would start a one-year clock during which you must file an application or forever lose your right. 35 USC § 102. Third, anyone who learns of your invention can immediately start to make, use, sell and import it without your permission, and there is nothing you can do about it until the day your patent is issued (if ever). Note that this is true regardless of when you make your disclosure, even if you have already filed.
