Concur, however, when it comes down to the attorneys it will be
whoever can show (on paper) that they worked on it first. This can
mean several things from publishing papers (as does the IEEE and
other societies) to keeping a diary (page numbered) and a daily
or regular entry. This told to me by a patient attorney.

So, forget about the other guys... just write up articles in public
magazines (trade type) or keep a good diary - for later legality.

If someone steals your work, they might think they will get credit
but you could take legal action if 'they' make a profit and you show
evidence.

Here's to you succeeding in building a Moray device!
