According to the information given, Penny has been working on the design of her automatic backscratcher for 30 months before taking it to a patent lawyer. This means that she may have missed the deadline for applying for a patent, as there are time limits for doing so under the Patent Act. Therefore, the lawyer's advice that she will not be able to patent it because she has left it too late is correct.
