The Smart Guide to Patents

Description

Many patent guides are written by attorneys who profit from writing your patent or by inventors who have struggled through the process with little left to show for the effort. The Smart Guide is something different. It is written by an inventor who has built high value tech companies based on numerous inventions, and who has successfully taken a patent to court to force infringers to pay. The Smart Guide to Patents is an insider's guide for those who stand apart from the crowd because they have the dynamic creative mind of an inventor. Dr. Aaron Filler understands the views of the highly intelligent but non-creative people around you and has invaluable advice on what you need to do to stay ahead of them! He explains what is involved in getting a patent from conception to the actual filing of the patent and prosecuting it before the patent office examiner. He explains the process of writing your claims and producing the necessary drawings. He offers advice of finding professionals to assist you with the process as a reasonable cost when you do not want to retain a patent attorney to do this for you. He explains the necessity of doing a thorough patent search before you apply for you patent so that you do not waste your money on applying for a patent on something that has already been patented. He offers advice in retaining a patent attorney and tells you what to look for in a patent attorney. He uses the book to explain how you can profit personally while advancing the human condition by using the patent system to your advantage.
