Download or read book What You Need to Know Before You Shell Out 10 000 Or More on a Patent written by Rob W. Gramer and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-09 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is going to present to you a very different take on patenting ideas. In fact, you're going to hear something pretty much NO patent attorney with their own law firm will ever tell you. The goal of this book is simple. To give you the information to determine if your idea - the idea that will most likely cost $10,000 or more to patent - is worth investing in. Because, ultimately, if you spend $10,000 or more on a patent...you want to make that money back (and then some), right? You want that $10,000 to turn into $20,000...$100,000 ...$1 million or more. Well, I'm here to tell you, that doesn't always happen. This book will explain why. And will give you a few simple, straightforward tactics for turning a profit on your idea inside of the first 30 days. Now, I have to warn you. This is much different than what you'll usually hear about patents and the process of protecting your ideas. The reason why I say this is because the content is based off an interview with someone I call a "patent gatekeeper." She is a patent agent and holds her doctorate in chemistry from one of the top 3 universities in the world - the University of California in Berkley. And she's drafted patents for Eli Lilly, a global pharmaceutical company with sales of $23 billion in 2013. Today, she works for one of the biggest colleges in the country, in their technology development department. There, she reviews all of the ideas the university faculty produces. And she decides whether or not these ideas will or will not receive university money for patent protection. That means, she literally looks at hundreds of ideas every year, from a wide variety of different angles...and determines whether or not they are worth it for the university to pursue. And, she has to decide if it makes FINANCIAL SENSE for the university to invest in patenting ideas the university faculty produce. She has to decide if there is... A commercial application for the idea. If they patent it, can the faculty start a business and sell aspects of the idea (of which the university takes a percentage)? A licensing aspect of the idea. Is this something the university can license out for a profit? A necessary protection aspect so the faculty can continue research. Remember, much university research is supplied by government grants or private funding. Sometimes a patent is necessary so the faculty can continue research (and continue receiving money from outside sources). In essence, she has to decide if the patent is financially viable! And so should you, before you hand over tens of thousands of dollars to patent attorney. Which is why I think you'll find the information in this book so valuable. Here's what's inside: The single most profitable type of technology that big universities LOVE to protect (and why this is much different than what most individual inventors look to patent) How to tell if you are getting screwed by your patent attorney When pursuing your idea actually breaks the law How to do a free patent search online How to connect with local entrepreneurs and investors using your local university 3 things you should bring to your first meeting with a patent attorney (this will save time and keep costs down in the long run) How inventors lose patent protection even after the patent is issued Hidden patent fees! How some patent attorneys hide the true cost of your patent application (and how this could easily TRIPLE the cost of your patent) How to multiple the value of your invention 10 times or more Ready to give up because your idea is already patented? Why this could make you even MORE money When you SHOULDN'T do a patent search Plus much more

Download or read book To Patent Or Not written by Manuel Fortin and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-03 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a secret of the patent industry: most inventors never recover the cost of their patent. Don't be one of them. Find out if you need a patent or not, and only get one if it fits your goals. Going to a patent attorney to know if you need a patent is like going to an insurance salesman to know if you need insurance. What do you think the answer will be? The attorney will at least try to sell you an expensive patent search.Do you like to make up your own mind? If you are an inventor or want to invest in an invention, you probably do. I am a registered patent agent and I wrote this book to help you decide if you should get a patent, or, for an investor, if you should invest in an invention. Instead of relying on a consultation by a patent agent or attorney who will use his free consultation to try and sell you something, you can read this book. It would take many hours to tell someone in person all the information and pieces of advice that are collected in this book. Instead of paying hundreds of dollars to hear someone tell you all this, you can read about patents in a non-pressure and informational context at home and think about the big issues related to them. Then, you will be informed to decide if you want to patent or not. If you still have questions, you will be able to use the free consultation given by many patent agents and attorneys to get answers to them, instead of simply be told generalities and sold a search or a provisional patent application that may not be right for you.What are the major steps of the patent process? This book includes a detailed summary of the whole process that you can read and refer to later.Find out the major mistakes that inventors tend to make. Some can eliminate any chance of getting a valid patent.For investors, find out what is the minimal set of questions you should be asking before investing a single cent in an invention. Answers to these questions can save you a lot of time and money.And of course, the 20000$ question: should you patent your invention or not? Sometimes, patenting your invention is not the best way to proceed. And if you decide to patent it, this book warns you about the major mistakes that inventors and investors make in the patent process.
