An NDA should take care of copies sent to reviewers.
From the article I linked to in my comment "the importance of the
date"
"Any written or oral disclosure, even to a single person, counts as a
"public disclosure" in most countries--unless the recipient agrees
that the information was conveyed in confidence."
[ ... ]
"6. What if I want to discuss my invention with others, outside my
institution, before I have filed a patent application?
You should have the person (or company) sign a confidentiality agreement,
agreeing to keep your invention in confidence, before you have the
discussion."

| It has been suggested (quite reasonably) that Apple had applied for some iPhone
related patents in Japan on June 28th; and if some iPhones were available to
the
public on that date then the invention would have been published and
couldn't
be patented anymore.
Giving an iPhone to a journalist without
NDA would probably cover this; whether
the iPhone was sold, lent out, or given
as a gift. But I think handing over an
iPhone under NDA wouldn't be a
publication. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
