I know that in every company I've worked for, there's a formal process for submitting a paper, which includes addressing the question of whether any necessary patents have been filed. If an author suddenly decides they failed to file a patent, and asks a publisher to delay publication, they screwed up. IMHO and YMMV. | |

I myself have been surprised in the past by late-breaking patent filings by collaborators. | |
