In the U.S., 35 USC § 102(b) allows the inventor a one-year grace period to
file after public disclosure, offer for sale, in public use, or otherwise
disclosed.

Alexey since you already published them I don't think you can patent them.

Hello,
Some of my inventions can be patended. Mobile TCP is a big one.
Another patentable idea from my IPv5 (IP-FF) protocol stack is a hybrid
UniMulticast Routing. Those ideas can be back-ported to IPv4 and IPv6
networks.
I have few ways:
1. Don't patent at all
2. Patent through Open Invention Network (OIN), basically donate patent to
Open - Source community
3. Go commercial, and patent it myself. (But I do need to put food on the
table, considering I am currently unemployed, but I am not sure this is the
correct way to promote Internet innovation, that is supposed to be free.
After all my innovation stands on the shoulders of Titans. The original
TCP/IP invention by DARPA.). But I don't have the capital to enforce the
patents, or to become a patent troll anyway... so perhaps this is not a
realistic scenario. Finally I think proprietary Internet technology is a
wrong idea.
Questions:
1. Can I submit a patent application, after submitting IETF draft ?
2. Which of the three options would you choose, in my position?
