Please do your homework when it comes to market research. There is a HUGE difference in market research and these invention marketing companies you see on t.v.

I suggest having an invention evaluation done as a simple, inexpensive first step, preferably using the PIES-XII Preliminary Innovation Evaluation System. The…[Read more]

When you do file for your utility patent you have a time limit to file for the international. Imternationals are time dependant on how much you want to spend and for how long you need or want it. I didn’t get it because it was thousands f…[Read more]

Louis Foreman points this out in many of his public speeches geared toward inventors so maybe he can chime in and better speak to this. Thanks for bringing this up as I…[Read more]

That way you can list it as “patent pending” while you gather the necessary resources to get a patent. Good luck!

An industrial design can be a shape, configuration, pattern, ornament or any combination of these features. You can also register your industrial design with your government organization.

But what is the difference between micro and small entity?

I am little confused what would be it fees. Actually, the problem is I can’t differentiate between a micro entity and a small entity. It would be nice if anyone can explain this to me. Thanks.

I was reading some articles the other day about licensing and I realised everywhere I looked, they were talking about going to one company only when trying to license, and if that one doesn’t want to, go to the next and so on.

I’m curious to hear your opinions on this. Do you think it’s a good idea to approach more companies at…[Read more]

However, I would say it depends on the scale of the sector that the patent falls into. How well developed is the market? Is the patent easy to circumvent? Are there already similar patents that yours is essentially just one of the bypasses of?

It seems one of the best identifiers is how much…[Read more]
