There is the chance it could be viewable earlier if the platform allows public access?
“ In some cases, patent applications may be made available to the public earlier than the standard 18-month publication period. This can happen if the applicant requests early publication or if the application is part of a priority claim under the Paris Convention. In these situations, the patent application may be published sooner than the standard timeframe. Additionally, some patent offices offer online databases where members of the public can search and view filed patent applications before publication. However, access to these databases may be restricted or require a fee in some cases.”
