Patent Primer 3.1e is an overview of IP protection in the US and globally with a focus on patents and the patenting process. Intellectual property – especially patents – provides one of the greatest competitive advantages of our time. Patents are a great equalizer, putting the individual inventor on the same footing as corporate giants. The Patent Primer is an update from the original edition that was included as Appendix B in Perpetual Innovation, Hall and Hinkelman’s 2007 patent commercialization book. Much has changed, so look for the latest edition!
With so much depending on intellectual property, inventors and entrepreneurs must have a good understanding of IP tools to be successful. The Patent Primer is what everyone needs before launching new product development and invention commercialization. It gives a quick overview of IP and brand building. It addresses the various patent-protection alternatives. The Primer offers example of costs for a small entity to bring a patent-protected invention to market-readiness. The Patent Primer includes major changes in U.S. patent laws, court rulings and the new fees initiated in March 2013.
