Should faculty and students refrain from publishing a paper or submitting an abstract/making an oral presentation of an invention before OTC has filed a patent application?

The one-year grace period under U.S. patent law may permit a later U.S. patent filing. However, inventors should disclose inventions to OTC well before any public disclosure in order to preserve potential foreign patent rights.
