On saturday morning, July 23rd, I gave a presentation to the Bay Area Chapter of the Inventors Alliance on Common Patent Mistakes That Waste Inventors' Time and Money. The presentation can be downloaded here in PDF format.
The main points include:
- It’s possible to keep costs manageable and work with a registered patent attorney
- Discipline, patience, and diligence are required
- The two most important value killers are:
(1) not searching the prior art, and
(2) poor claim language
- Ego and greed frequently get in the way
- Small teams nearly always improve the outcome
- Bring a sense of humor and have fun
