Spring,

I have posted here that I have vast patent knowledge and hold many patents myself. Let me give you my 2 cents on the subject.

Public Disclosure is extraordinarily black and white. If you do something with your invention that meets the criteria for public disclosure, you have one year to file a patent in the US and Canada (and a patent has been already lost in the rest of the world)... after which you simply can not get a patent and your invention is public domain and anyone can use it. This part is indisputable.

There are two questions that need to be answered:
"Did Expo publicly disclose the invention prior to the patent filing?"
"If so, when did Expo publicly disclose the invention?".

I'll try and cover these 2 questions this weekend... time permitting.

All my posts regarding patents are IMO, and one should consult with a patent attorney for confirmation before considering it as fact.
