He forgot to file his patent application prior to publishing - B. Joey invents a blingy flip flop. She starts selling them. Sales are great through the summer, but start slowing down in October. She works to modify them for the winter months, but has no success. Around 18 months after her first sale she files her patent application. - C. A invents a game that makes sense, it's called Lookugon. He keeps the game to himself for about 18 months while he keeps on improving it. Finally he files a patent application. - D. Elaine invents a radical new and useful microphone. She tells all her friends in the at school, puts an announcement on Facebook saying she has developed a better and radical microphone and that it is soon coming to market.
