First to file and first to invent
First to file (FTF) and first to invent (FTI) are legal concepts that define who has the right to the grant of a patent for an invention. The first-to-file system is used in all countries, including the United States, which switched to a first-inventor-to-file (FITF) system on March 16, 2013 after the enactment of the America Invents Act.〔(USPTO: "America Invents Act: Effective Dates" )〕 There is an important difference between the strict nature of the FTF under the EPO and the FITF system of the USPTO. The USPTO FITF system〔(Zuhn: "USPTO Issues First-Inventor-to-File Examination Guidelines and Final Rule" )〕 affords early disclosers some "grace" time before they need to file a patent,〔 whereas the EPO does not recognise any grace period, so early disclosure under the FITF provisions is an absolute bar to later EPO patent.
== First to file ==
In a first-to-file system, the right to the grant of a patent for a given invention lies with the first person to file a patent application for protection of that invention, regardless of the date of actual invention.
