“Only the brain invents, the hands cannot.” - James Alford
IP Education and Consulting
Intellectual Property (IP) Education and Consulting is sorely needed in the market place. Because of being heavily involved with patent litigation for almost two (2) decades and seeing the lack of knowledge about what an invention is and how inventors and patent holders are abused and taken advantage of by many entities e.g., corporations, some patent lawyers, judges, special masters, etc., I am offering IP Education and Consulting services.
Some Education and/or Services Are (See Offered Hourly Services):
- Educate inventors and/or patent holders of a common and fatal mistake made by inventors and/or patent holders when filing for a patent.
- Educate as to the importance of knowing "what" is the fundamental problem being solved. Most inventors don't know. Drastic consequences if you don't know.
- Help an inventor discover what the real (fundamental) problem is and is not. (No service offers this.)
- Increasing your chances of getting claims approved by the PTO.
- Educate as to why the product you think is your invention, is not.
- Educate regarding the importance of knowing who are or would be your business partners.
- Educate as to why the patent game operates using a “hand grenade” method, which has killed many companies legitimate/valid claims and patents by bogus prior art.
- Why Prior Art can and should be your friend, not your enemy.
- Help avoid many detrimental and/or fatal mistakes throughout a patent litigation process. (Your patent litigation lawyer cannot help you in many areas.)
- How to increase the protection of new claims being filed at the PTO.
- Infringement analysis (as a Plaintiff or Defendant).¹
- How to increase you chances of getting a patent lawyer on contingency.
- How to help your patent litigation lawyer be successful with your case.
- What you should and should not do if being deposed.
- Research new or existing claims for prior art.¹
- Educate inventors and/or patent holders as to the scope of claims and/or their invention.¹
- Protect the validity of patent claims from prior art assertions (assuming there is nothing actually teaching the claims, which is rare).¹
- Help respond to a patent examiners claim rejections. (Very important as to how you respond).
- Help with Markman constructions (critically important).¹
- Help with Settlement and Licensing your IP.
- Educate regarding the importance of dependent claims in a patent.
- Educate regarding the importance of how the independent claim is written.
- Educate as to the many deceptions that Defendant’s patent litigation lawyers will try to get their clients off from having to pay for their infringement of one or more claims.
- Educate as to why some corporations who infringe patents won’t take a royalty license (Settlement) unless hell freezes over or if it’s for peanuts e.g., a penny on a dollar.
- Educate you on "false premises", which are used to mislead you.
- Educate as to why "experts" in a field understand very little if anything regarding inventions.
- Educate you regarding how the rules of the patent game are always in flux.
