DIY Patents

Adam Bell is a brilliant patent attorney (I’ve read some of his patents), an exceptional instructor (he along with  patent paralegal Crystal L. Susa created  https://www.iplegaled.com/ a system to teach paralegals about Intellectual Property, IP), runs an incredible IP Law Firm https://www.bell-iplaw.com/ , and … he has a heart. 

After turning away hundreds of independent inventors who just could not afford to hire an attorney, he put together a program whereby a patent professional could help them write their own patent, at a greatly reduced cost, but more about that later.

Adam strongly believes that inventors should be able to draft their own patent applications with little or no attorney cost. He will be giving us a roadmap of how to draft a patent application, common mistakes to avoid, what fees you should expect and how long the patent process will take. Importantly he will tell us how to determine if what you have is even patentable.  This is not going to be the usual cursory overview. This is the real deal with information you can use.

Every inventor needs a very strong understanding of the patent system and needs to develop their products with this in mind. Sometimes, a little nudge one way or the other can make a huge difference in the strength of the Intellectual Property you can own.

The disruptiveness and commercial value of an invention determines the cost of its IP. Only a fool would cut corners on something like that, especially, in the present climate where our rights are in question. However, most inventions are smaller improvements and it might be wiser to limit the IP budget.

This is where his other program comes in https://www.patentpathway.com/ . There you can get an IP Professional to help to write your own patent. There are two different price classes and they both are reasonable.  

No matter which way you choose to go, the first step is to get off your bum and get to work.
