Question
Can I apply for a patent, if I developed the invention while working for a company which has now filed for bankruptcy? Or how is it if the company did not exist anymore, but the work was done for them while they were still in business?

You should look at the bankruptcy schedules and see how the intellectual property is treated, if it is even listed. You also need to know what you agreed to. Sometimes you have signed away the patent rights to inventions you create during employment, but not always. You really need to talk to someone with both bankruptcy and intellectual property experience. (We're not as hard to find as you might think.)
