The invention points are scored when you run the violet converter and invent the technology in the Trade Phase. The Sharing Bonus is scored in the Confluence Phase, when the technology is shared, and the rulebook says not to take it at invention. The designer accepts taking it at invention as a group choice; waiting until Confluence can leave a player short of points for a Nalgorian Grindstone conversion.
