After claiming, or late claiming, is the practice of filing a US patent application after the publication by a third party of a description of the same invention. This is possible in US patent law with regard to applications not subject to the Leahy–Smith America Invents Act, since an inventor has one year after the publication of the description of an invention to get a patent application on file.
