  Disclosure Document Program DISCONTINUED
A paper disclosing an invention (called a Disclosure Document) and signed by the inventor or inventors may be forwarded to the USPTO by the inventor (or by any one of the inventors when there are joint inventors), by the owner of the invention, or by the attorney or agent of the inventor(s) or owner.
The Disclosure Document will be retained for two years, and then be destroyed unless it is referred to in a separate letter in a related nonprovisional patent application filed within those two years.
The Disclosure Document must be accompanied by a separate cover letter signed by the inventor stating that he or she is the inventor and requesting that the material be received under the Disclosure Document Program.

 Full disclosure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Limited disclosure, with full details going to a restricted community of developers and vendors, and only the existence of the problem being released to the public, is another possible approach.
The issue of full disclosure was first raised in the context of locksmithing, in a 19th century controversy regarding whether weaknesses in lock systems should be kept secret in the locksmithing community, or revealed to the public.
The argument against disclosure is that providing complete details or tools to malicious attackers, such as flhats and script kiddies, allows them to take advantage of vulnerabilities more quickly and makes attacks more widespread.

 Disclosure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Disclosure means the giving out of information, either voluntarily or to be in compliance with legal regulations or workplace rules.
Some disclosures could be contrary to law, custom, or even morality, such as the disclosure of a secret.
In the law of England and Wales, disclosure refers to a process that may form part of legal proceedings, whereby parties inform ("disclose") to other parties the existence of any relevant documents that are, or have been, in their control.

 Selective Disclosure and Insider Trading
Likewise, selective disclosure has an adverse impact on market integrity that is similar to the adverse impact from illegal insider trading: investors lose confidence in the fairness of the markets when they know that other participants may exploit "unerodable informational advantages" derived not from hard work or insights, but from their access to corporate insiders.
Under the regulation, a selective disclosure is "intentional" when the issuer or person acting on behalf of the issuer making the disclosure either knows, or is reckless in not knowing, prior to making the disclosure, that the information he or she is communicating is both material and nonpublic.
The requirement to make prompt disclosure is triggered when a senior official of the issuer learns that there has been a non-intentional disclosure of information by the issuer or a person acting on behalf of the issuer that the senior official knows, or is reckless in not knowing, is both material and non-public.

 Criminal Resource Manual 503 Disclosure   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
Although the definition of disclosure does not appear to admit many exceptions, the return to the supplier of information supplied to IRS appears to be one.
Arguably, therefore, it is not a disclosure for IRS to return taxpayer records supplied by a United States Attorney to that United States Attorney, provided that no supplementary tax material prepared by IRS is included.
Likewise, "disclosure" by the prosecutor of a return obtained pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 6103(i)(1) to the taxpayer who filed the return with IRS would not appear to be prohibited because no "making known" of information is involved.

 Dot Com Disclosures
Disclosures that are required to prevent an ad from being misleading, to ensure that consumers receive material information about the terms of a transaction or to further public policy goals, must be clear and conspicuous.
Disclosures that are an integral part of a claim or inseparable from it, however, should be placed on the same page and immediately next to the claim.
Disclosures are more likely to be effective if they are provided in the context of the ad, when the consumer is considering the purchase.

 California disclosure law has national reach
Disclosure isn't just triggered by drop-dead, caught-'em-red-handed intrusions, but by any incident in which customer data is "reasonably believed" to have been compromised.
Companies are permitted to delay disclosure to meet "the legitimate needs of law enforcement," a provision intended to keep the law from acting as an early warning system for cyber crooks who've fallen under police scrutiny.
That last provision means that law enforcement officials effectively hold the power to grant a stay of execution on disclosure, giving a company time to examine its liability and plan a public relations strategy.

Disclosure is more entertaining than thought provoking (because the filmmakers basically danced around the story's potential controversy), but there's enough star power and visual glitz to make this an enjoyable ride.
Disclosure is the first movie I remember questioning the monolithic "men are a bunch of b-stards" worldview which has been propagated by our media, our universities, and society as a whole since our institutions have been contaminated by the radicals of the 1960s.
Demi Moore is sexy as ever and DISCLOSURE provides audiences with one more chance to see her assets-a chance she seems so willing to grant us in the 1990s that it must have been a conditional clause in her contract.

In this case, the Port of Bellingham had withheld from public disclosure a report of financial data consisting of cash flows, occupancy rates, room rates, and revenue figures for potential hotel developments, and argued that the correct definition of research data is "careful or diligent search.

Previously, in the PAWS case, the Supreme ruled that disclosure of an employee's social security number would be highly offensive to a reasonable person and not of legitimate concern to the public, and therefore exempt from disclosure.
