Patent Practice Skills & Strategies Britten Sessions

Perhaps you've invented the next big breakthrough. If so, congratulations. Now the next test begins. How do you protect such an invention? How do you ensure that such protection adds value to your invention? And ultimately, how do you ensure that you get properly compensated for your invention? This textbook will teach these and other core patent concepts. The reader will follow the life of a patent, including how to conduct an inventor disclosure, write a patent application, and respond to actions from the USPTO, to eventually pursuing one or more profit options, such as litigation, brokering, or licensing. The focus of the textbook is on adding value to IP portfolios by implementing patent strategies at every phase of the patent process. The goal is to enable the reader to formulate and carry out such strategies. Keep inventing. Keep protecting.
