patent it yourself ..if you have the money.......2007-10-22
This book was very helpful and i learned alot...This book has all the answers....i just wish i actually had the money to patent it myself...I have a great idea but unfortunately i will have to sit on it for a while
An excellent publication.......2007-10-05
I am living proof that one can get his/her US patent application allowed by using the step by step instructions of this book. I never talked to a patent attorney except the examiner and do not have a legal background (especially the US legal system since I am not even an American), but still managed to get my patent.
Of course, you must always do your best to keep yourself abreast of any new rules which do happen often enough. But the USPTO's web site provides everything you need to know. You just have to make the effort. By all means, I am not saying that it is easy, especially when you come to the issue of unobviosness. What I'm saying is that if you study the book well and put your mind to it and have a good idea, you can get it patented without the help of a patent attorney.
The book is that good.
A must have for the mad scientist.......2007-10-04
I have too many ideas and not enough time or money. Having the this book explains much of the patent process in precise and clear fashion that it saves me from going more mad. Every patent lawyer will tell you have an idea that can be patented,for a price of course. For very little cost one can learn, do your research and figure out whether or not you have a good idea. The book also explains how you do not always have to have a patent in order to make your money. I have an edition from 10 years ago, just bought the updated one and there is even more info, a great buy.
Don't Even THINK of not buying this book!.......2007-09-20
If you have any interest in pursuing a patent, whether you do it yourself or have an attorney do it, you MUST read this book. I have a stack of "inventor" books and patent books, and this one really stands head and shoulders above the rest. It is so comprehesive, and so clearly and well written, it might be all you need. Read it, underline it, and read it again. Even if you decide not to write your own patent, this book will help you understand the entire process, and make you better able to communicate with a patent attorney. The more you know and can communicate to your attorney, the stronger the patent you'll be able to secure. Equally as important is the possibility that you'll realize that you shouldn't proceed with getting a patent. That knowledge alone could save you many thousands of dollars. Get this book!
(none).......2007-06-14
Takes me through the process step bz step, better than a text book, and I don't have to read from cover to cover to get the information that I need.

Book Description
Having the great idea, creating the magnificent work of art, or coming up with the next fad is only the first step to cashing in on your creativity and hard work. Next up is protecting your intellectual property.
This book is for anyone who is intrigued by those three not-so-little words: patents, copyrights, and trademarks. That means you, if
- You think you might be the next Thomas Edison or maybe another J.K. Rowling
- Your company has recently developed a bold new corporate logo or eye-catching trademark
- You’re thinking of a new concept in software, one that can revolutionize the entire manufacturing process
- You’ve just dreamed up the latest in “latest things”
Patents, Copyrights & Trademarks For Dummies explains, in layman’s terms, the basic nature, function, and application of intellectual property (IP) rights, including how you can acquire those rights, wield them effectively against your competitors, or exploit them lucratively through licensing agreements and other rewarding adventures. This book covers all of these critical concepts, and more:
- Working with IP professionals
- Presenting a patent explanation
- Determining what is copyrighted and what isn’t
- Protecting your commercial identity
- Inspecting the basic elements of a license
- Determining infringement
- Avoiding the ten worst naming blunders
With this book at you side, you’ll have a solid grasp of the processes involved in acquiring, registering, maintaining, and protecting the intellectual property rights due you and/or your company. You’ll be able to make informed decisions and speak confidently with the IP professionals you meet along the way. And you’ll have the tools and knowledge to take care of much of the work involved in the various research and registration processes.

Patents, Copyrights & Trademarks for Dummies.......2007-09-19
I applied for a US Federal Trademark on July 13th and besides putting the (c) on my name and art work... I never thought much about sending in anything to the Copyright office in D.C. End of August a check company contacted me to license my artwork for their checks and address labels... this I knew was big but I needed extra help. A friend suggested this book, I ordered it immediately and wow... it is so super easy to comprehend. I absolutely now swear by this book I've nicknamed the "Artist's Bible." I have found all the tips, etc about copyrighting my art AND about trademark issues extremely valuable. I have actually ear marked several pages so I can go back to that as a reference quickly. And it's also important to have an attorney to fall back on which I do. But yes I highly recommend this book for any artist serious enough to get their work copyrighted or even getting their company name trademarked like me.
Great Resource.......2007-03-29
When I received this book I was blown away by how much useful information it contained. It was easy to read and understand, has quick references that pertain to your subject or you can skip to something more applicable, and was filled with up-to-date information on how to obtain a patent. A great resource!
Great Information for Business Beginners.......2007-03-09
When you think of a product you may be under the impression that I need to patent my invention, but don't have to do anything else. Nothing can be further from the truth. Henri Charmasson spells out clearly in this well written, humorous book how one must wisely go out and protect their intellectual property. He cleverly steers you through the unfriendly and confusing halls of the USPTO - the Patent and Trademark office, and guides you to seeking out the advice of an IP professional, (namely a patent attorney). It is a must read for new business owners, and many established businesses can use the help as well. But after going through the book, you will learn one thing - "Do not to go about patenting and Trademarking by yourself. Get a professional to help you."
Great entry-level book.......2006-06-21
I'm in legal with an IP background and this book is a great IP primer - I was pleasantly surprised by the depth. 'Dummies' is a misnomer as it provides entry-level to intermediate coverage.

Budding inventors/entrepreneurs will want this book.......2006-08-16
As an accountant outside of the IP field, I found this to be a good tool to "round out" my business acumen. Enjoyed the presentation of pricing models.
My clients rate this book "Superb!".......2006-03-07
Richard is a very well known authority among those of us who are involved in the technology commercialization industry. As a technology commercialization business coach, I hear regularly that Richard's advice in his books is extremely helpful in the most important areas of their work. You can count on the validity of Richard's information...he's been in the trenches and around technology commercialization for many years.
If you want to be successful in commercializing technology get Richard's books, study them and put his advice and suggestions into practice.

Looks great so far !.......2005-10-22
I'm just through a couple of selected chapters, but I am certain that this book will provide me with an amazing outlook. It's very rounded, and includes a vast amount of information about licencing strategy, along with everything else. I suggest looking at the available images for the index (link to it somewhere on this page) and checking them out. Good stuff.
Excellent work.......2005-09-20
Dr. Razgaitis has achieved an excellent job in illustrating most types of market-practiced methods in the valuation & pricing of tech-based intellectual property. He has done it not just in a coherent manner, but also with a touch of humourous & philosophical elements, which makes the book a surprisingly enjoyable read. Despite the fact that each valuation methods has different, or even diverse, characteristics, Dr. Razgaitis managed to clearly present how each method can be practically applied in various situations, and how these methods can be jointly applied to solve business problems. He has skillfully provided knowledge & guidelines for readers to come up with their own judgement regarding what methods to be applied in various real-world situations, rather than promoting a particular method as the 'silver bullet', like some other authors may attempt to do; this is refreshing & pragmatic as technology valuation is both art & science. The references of the book are also highly valuable, as they provides good pointers to resources that would enable readers to practice the methods.
Some thoughts from a competing author.......2003-06-24
Dr. Razgaitis has tackled an area that contains the most difficult question facing professionals and intellectual property owners - how to value and price embryonic technology.
In recent years many have attempted to educate us on the subject of valuing intellectual property. Complex financial theories and spread-sheet models emerged, especially during the e-business bubble as some strove to explain the unexplainable valuations of enterprises whose only assets were intangible. Dr. Razgaitis obviously knows and understands the theories, but doesn't let the reader escape into flights of fancy, instead bringing one back to earth gently, sometimes with humor, sometimes with real-life anecdotes.
This book allows the reader to seek information to a depth that he or she wishes. As an example, the Monte Carlo technique is presented in all its complexity for those willing and able to study it. At the same time, mathematically challenged readers can still come away with an understanding of what is going on. The author is skilled in clearly explaining complexities and the many well designed charts and tables greatly assist the reader.
These are just some of the features that set this book apart and give it a strong practical value to all of those who create and exploit technology assets, and to those who advise them. Anyone in those roles should have this book within easy reach.
Book Description
This book is designed to simplify the process of attaching a dollar amount to intangible assets, be it for licensing, mergers and acquisitions, loan collateral, or investment purposes. It provides practical tools for evaluating the investment aspects of licensing and joint venture decisions, and discusses the legal, tax, and accounting practices and procedures related to such arrangements; examines the business economics of strategies involving intellectual property licensing and joint ventures; and provides analytical models that can be used to determine reasonable royalty rates for licensing and for determining fair equity splits in joint venture arrangements.

Very informative and thorough introduction to patent law.......2007-08-08
I bought this book from Amazon on advice from a friend who actually practices patent law, while I am merely interested in understanding the IP issues around starting my own business. I am not a law student etc.
Here is what I liked:
The book is very comprehensive. It covers all conceivable (for a layman) patent law issues, going from basic principles and interpretation of the law, and providing examples from historically significant cases. You learn about what a patent embodies, how to obtain and use it (enforce, license, etc), and various litigation and international issues.
The book is also very up to date. The cases discussed include very recent ones, up to 2003 at least. There is also relevant discussion of biotechnology and information technology (computers, software).
Best of all, the book is short and easy to read. It took me less than 3 days to read it and there are some entertaining examples thrown in which make it easier to read and understand the otherwise boring legal intricacies.
A couple of caveats:
The book does not replace consulting a lawyer, but it will definitely make you more knowledgeable when dealing with one regarding your own or someone else's patents.
The book also does not discuss business issues such as the appropriate patent valuation techniques, license fee structures, etc. You need other books for this, and as of this writing, I am not aware of anything quite as concise as this book but about the business aspects.
good book for chapman students.......2007-05-15
This is a good book if you are taking Patent Law at Chapman. It outlines various principals very well. It is helpful for various assignments. The one small thing it is lacking though, is how to actually write the patent. You are going to have to use the text book for that.
Excellent, Focused, Up-to-Date.......2007-03-21
This book is a great find--everything you wanted or needed to know about patent law and procedure, in a nutshell (even if it doesn't come from O'Reilly). Well organized, succinct, but thorough in its coverage of the issues and its explanations of their significance. Quite up-to-date, also, although there may have been a little rush to publish (a few passages could have been edited, but strictly to improve their elegance of expression.)
I look forward eagerly to more books from the publisher in this series.
Yeah, its written for law students........2005-12-01
It's a hornbook, so you kinda gotta see that coming.
If you are taking patent law, you should get this book, it is great.
Thomas also co-authored my casebook, "Cases and Materials on Patent Law" by Adelman, et al.
This hornbook roughly tracks the casebook.
I really enjoy his concise and down-to-earth explanations.
This hornbook contains case summaries of most of the important patent law cases.
Principles Of Patent Law (Hornbook Series).......2005-04-09
More in depth than David Pressman's "Patent It Yourself". It's written for law students, and may be too detailed for some, and lack info for others.

Step by step guide to creating and taking a product to market.......2007-07-27
Tamara works her way though all the steps for bringing a product to market. As the title would suggest her target audience is female but as a male I also found that it was very informative. She presents examples from her own work as well as that of others helping to show how varied and simple products really can be.

If you are an inventor or have thoughts about inventing a new product, do yourself a favor and BUY THIS BOOK. I created a product and recently launched my Web site to sell my invention, OnTray, on. This book was my road map throughout the whole process.

Tremendous aid for understanding how to turn your new product idea into a successful business.......2006-06-10
I launched a new product line several years ago - learning a lot along the way. I am getting ready to launch a new line of products and decided to read this book. It was a tremendous resource! So many of the answers that I had to dig for and learn the hard (and expensive) way - are contained here in one easy to read book. I highly endorse it. It is also very motivational (as you read the stories of other people) that decided to take action and turn their idea into a successful business. Well worth the price. Very well written.
Informative and inspiring.......2006-03-12
Mom inventors wanting more info on what's involved in bringing a product to market will want to read this book. The book offers practical advice on researching your market, creating your product prototype, protecting your idea, manufacturing your product, and bringing your product to market.
What I like best about the book is that it features case studies and practical advice from real-life mom inventors.
There are also lots of helpful website links and other helpful resources at the back of the book -- very helpful for mom inventors who wish to do some additional research.
This is a terrific and inspiring book that will be very helpful to mom inventors at any stage of bringing an invention to market -- conception right through delivery.
Amazing, Informational & A Must Have.......2005-11-18
This book does it all for anyone wanting to create/invent a product that they hope to bring to market. Tamara shares in a very easy-to-read format her experiences, her expertise and saves the rest of us lots of time, energy and money. Her mistakes made along the way combined with her successes that continue to grow provide the reader with a wealth of knowledge about researching, developing, patenting, protecting, marketing (and more!) an idea/invention.
Pair this with the CD sets created by her dynamic and resourceful company mominventors.com, and you will walk away with knowledge you could not even get in business school! I wish I had read this three years ago when I first started my product line development. Thanks Tamara for sharing so freely and so generously to save the rest of us time and money!!!

Save your money this book is not readable.......2007-10-21
I have to send this book back to Amazon. It is small type and dull as dust. I did not find anything useful in this and it was such a chore to read it I stopped at the third chapter. It just is not interesting to read and did not tell me anything I didn't know before.
OPM: Other People's Money.......2007-08-26
A true entrepreneur knows how to leverage other people's ideas and other people's money to create more wealth for everyone around them. Michael Lechter has outlined several ways to bring other people to the table to combine their investments with yours.

Great book to start a business with........2007-02-15
I am mainly interested in real estate investment, so this book did not have a whole lot for me. It would be really great if you are looking for capital to begin a business. I just wanted money to buy houses with!!
A good start on the big business picture........2007-01-21
One of the concepts the Rich Dad series has taught me, and you see this throughout the free enterprise system, is that "he who creates the investment gets most of the gold".
Bill Gates. Warren Buffett. The real estate developer next door turning five acres into a small strip mall, or an apartment complex.
This book shows how it's done. From concept, to trademarking and patenting, to incorporating, to raising the funds, everything short of filing the IPO is included, albeit briefly. But that's OK, you'll need your own attorneys and professionals to customize these parts for your application, anyway. Just don't cut any corners.
Michael gives you examples throughout the book as to how the process should work... and a few examples of what happens when you cut corners. (it can get ugly at this level, gang!)
Product Description
Landis on Mechanics of Patent Claim Drafting gives you the very latest word on patent claim drafting, including a new sample exercise for drafting business method claims. Youll learn new ways to deal with claims that involve numerical ranges -- how to understand the different treatments of preamble language, including the CAFCs Catalina Marketing guidelines -- how the CAFC treated the unusual Markush grouping in the Abbott Laboratories case -- how the CAFC interprets "substantially", "essentially", "similar", and other words of approximation, and why "about" has been held not to be per se indefinite -- why not only "more" and "less" but also "rich" and "high" are comparative words -- how PTO Utility Examination Guidelines address the issue of utility standards for gene and gene fragment patents -- and how new case law affects means or step clauses, alternative expressions, and product-by-process claims.

How-to reference.......2006-07-07
Filing a patent application comprises essentially three parts; writing the disclosure and drawings, drafting the claims, and filing the required work and fees with the Patent Office (which includes dealing with the office actions, if any). This book focuses exclusively on the second of these three parts, writing the claims. The claims are the legal heart of the patent, since they will define exactly what is, and what is not, covered by the patent; the application will be rejected if the claims are too broad, or not supported, or fail to be specific in pointing out the invention; on the other hand, the patent will be useless if the claims are insufficiently inclusive, and a product can bypass the detailed claimed invention. This book covers the details of exactly how to write a good patent claim, that will satisfy the requirements of the U.S. Patent office, describe the invention clearly and distinctly point out the novel features, and cover the invention sufficiently to stand up in court. It is the classic how-to reference for the practicing patent agent or lawyer.
A must have!.......2006-01-07
This book is awesome for patent drafters. It's clear, concise and has EVERYTHING you need to know. Fantastic desk reference!
Book Description
Complete strategy guide for prosecuting patents-and overcoming rejections.
Overcome adverse actions, objections, or final rejection of your patent application with this complete strategy guide.
Patent Prosecution: Law, Practice, and Procedure, is the new title of Patent Prosecution: Practice and Procedure Before the U.S. Patent Office. This new Fourth Edition is the same indispensable treatise written by nationally known and respected author, Irah H. Donner. The new title reflects the treatise's decade-long transition from a purely prosecution-oriented legal reference to a broader resource that is equally strong in its analysis of patent case law, in an era when even subtle distinctions by the courts can mean the difference between success and failure in a patent infringement challenge. The Fourth Edition of Mr. Donner's book provides both the guidance attorneys need to prosecute strong patents before the PTO and the analysis litigators will use to track and understand how the courts interpret patent claims at trial.
Patent Prosecution: Law, Practice, and Procedure, is the only source that gives you an element-by-element analysis of the substantive areas of patent law that form the basis of common rejections and objections you get from the U.S. Patent Office. The new Fourth Edition also provides guidance regarding a variety of substantive areas of patent law useful for litigators, such as patent claim interpretations, prosecution history estoppel issues, means-plus-function claim issues, and patent validity.
Applying years of research and practical experience, the author classifies a wide variety of Patent Office rejections and delivers proven response strategies to you, based on U.S. patent law and essential aspects of the prima facie case of unpatentability: utility, anticipation, obviousness, mathematical algorithms, business methods, priority, double patenting, enablement, best mode, and written description.
The Fourth Edition also includes a new chapter on attorney opinions, such as patentability, noninfringement, and invalidity.
The new edition of Patent Prosecution also addresses various significant changes in U.S. patent law as a result of recent decisions and statutory amendments, including:
Patent Office procedure that nonpublication request requires affirmative intent by the applicant that the application will not be the subject of a foreign application requiring 18-month publication Phillips v. AWH Corp., where the Federal Circuit will rehear en banc its earlier decision regarding the general rules for patent claim construction The Toro Company v. White Consolidated Industries, Inc., where the Federal Circuit held that the disclosure-dedication rule is a question of law to be determined by a court and not a jury, and that subjective intent by the patentee is irrelevant Campbell Plastics Engineering & Mfg., Inc. v. Brownlee, where the Federal Circuit held that Campbell Plastics failed to comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulations ("FARs") invention disclosure provisions under the Bayh-Dole Act, and therefore forfeited title to the invention Knorr-Bremse v. Dana Corp., where the Federal Circuit reversed, en banc, the long-standing precedent of drawing an adverse inference for failure to obtain or produce an exculpatory opinion of counsel Includes Case Digest in Softcover and on CD!
The accompanying Case Digest (in softcover volume and in Microsoft® Word 2000* format) gives you access to precedential language, organized by specific issue, in favor of patentability. The 2005 Case Digest contains excerpts from leading cases through December 31, 2004, including In re Klopfenstein, In re Wallach, In re Curtis, In re Beasley, SmithKline Beecham Corp. v. Apotex Corp., Knorr-Bremse v. Dana Corp., and Toro Co. v. White Consolidated Industries, Inc.

Great single source for U.S. patent prosecution.......2006-08-25
I graduated law school with honors in intellectual property. I have had the opportunity to read a number of textbooks on patents and patent law. These materials by Donner, the two volume set plus the softcover digest and CD, are the best single source of information on prosecuting a patent (trying to get a patent approved) in the U.S. that I've ever come across. I bought it hoping it would help in a particular prosecution I was involved in, and sure enough, Donner delivered. I think this set should be on the bookshelf of any patent agent or patent attorney.
Book Description
This book will be a valuable resource to practicing paralegals for whom is it critical to have a sound working knowledge of intellectual law. The many practical forms, agreements, checklists, case summaries, and charts illustrate the principals presented, promoting a clear understanding of the four major areas of intellectual property law-trademarks, copyrights, patents, and unfair competition. Discussions of each field conclude with a section on the new and emerging issues in that field and then an overview of international applications, including the methods by which intellectual property can be protected in other countries. On-line Companion for this text includes Appendices A-E, chapter summaries, trivia, and Internet resources.
