Yes. For most countries of the world, you must file your patent application before your invention becomes public. In the United States, you have a one year grace period.The United States also requires that you file your patent application within one year of when you first offer your invention for sale. It doesn’t matter if anyone buys it or not. There are no extensions to any of these deadlines.
