Description
Over 450,000 utility patents were filed at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in 2009, and filings continue to rise despite economic conditions. But with many patent attorneys now charging as much as $700 an hour for their time, most small inventors find themselves effectively priced out.
Patent it Yourself helps scientists, business people, engineers and basement tinkerers protect their inventions -- at a fraction of the cost of a hired lawyer. Written by renowned patent attorney David Pressman, the book walks inventors through the entire process of obtaining a patent. It provides details on:
conducting a patent search evaluating the commercial worth of an idea acquiring foreign rights protecting secrets enforcing and maintaining a patent licensing invention rightsThe 15th edition is updated to include information about the 2010 Supreme Court ruling that continues protection for business method and software patents. The new edition also reflects recent changes in patent-filing procedures.
