Secret ACTA Treaty May Sport "Internet Enforcement" Procedures After All 239
A user writes "Ars Technica writes about the recent work on the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, and reveals that while the public does not have access to the text of the agreement, a handful of lawyers representing Big Content and numerous companies and organizations do. 'Turns out that... ACTA will include a section on Internet "enforcement procedures" after all. And how many people have had input on these procedures? Forty-two. ... Knowledge Ecology International (KEI) found out in September that the US Trade Representative's office had actually been secretly canvassing opinions on the Internet section of the agreement from 42 people, all of whom had signed a nondisclosure agreement before being shown the ACTA draft text.'"

In the united states, there is a grace period, "one year from the date of first public use, sale, offer for sale, or publication". And if you get it notarized, you can prove that you had the idea first. Finding a notary shouldn't be a problem, because, AFAIK, most banks offer a notary for free to customers.
