Customer Reviews: Showing reviews 1-5 of 72 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...15 Next » Out of date and surpassed by the USPTO website November 20, 2009 Mike (CA) This book is really an introduction to the patent process. The author explains what protections and rights a patent gives you and explains the process and requirements for filing a patent and the differences between utility and design patents. However some of the content is a little out of date and the USPTO now has a very comprehensive and clear set of online documents and guidelines that now limit its utility IMHO. There is a legal language that has to be used that is not common usage when writing a patent, which this book mentions this but does not give specifics. Fortunately you can pick this up when doing your patent search for prior art. If you have a patent that you feel has very broad scope you are should seek the help of a good patent attorney as they do have the knowledge and experience to craft the language to give you the broadest coverage. This book will explain what the attorney does and how best to help him so as to minimize your costs by minimizing the review and redraft cycles. The Inventors bible. November 19, 2009 Work of Life (Miami, Florida USA) I purchased several books to help me navigate my way through the process of bringing my product to market. The books I purchased are 1)The Mom Inventors Handbook 2)Inventing on a Shoestring Budget 3)Inventor's Notebook: A Patent It Yourself Companion 4)Patent It Yourself, 13th Edition (this one). When this book popped up on Amazon Vine shortly thereafter, I exchanged the one I purchased for the "vine" book (since "Patent it yourself" was the most expensive of the lot). Well, I can see why it is. Patent It Yourself is the most comprehensive of the ones that I purchased and I think it is worth the extra money. I bought mine with the companion workbook and these are the two books I use the most and they work beautifully together. Highly recommended! Great reference book at a great price November 19, 2009 G. Bovara (Chandler, AZ USA) If you're thinking of patenting an idea, this is the book you need to show you exactly how it's done. It is chock full of instructions, methods and instructions to get you all the way to the finish line. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn about the complete patent process. Comprehensive November 19, 2009 J. Moore (Garden of Earthly Delights) I owned an early edition of this encyclopedic guide to the patent process, and I have to say that this one keeps up with is predecessor well. First, very few people will actually be able to successfully apply for their own patent on their own with the help of any book. The process is difficult, demanding and expensive. How. ever, this book is not without it's worth even to those who seek help. Simply finding out what is patentable, how to do searches, and the ins and outs of claims will save any inventor time and money. Learning how to keep an inventor's notebook and file provisional patents can save intellectual property. Using this book, inventors can do a lot of their own work, perhaps saving thousands on legal fees. I recommend it even to those going to use patent attorneys to help inventors speak the same language and understand the process better. Fantastic Book (with or without a Patent Attorney) November 19, 2009 Arnim Zola This book will save you a lot of money in the patent process. The concise and easy to understand writing (found in all Nolo books) will make a difficult process much easier. If you can't afford a patent attorney, this is the next best thing. And if you are thinking of using a patent attorney down the road, then this book is a great way to get started and will save you many hours of legal fees. In addition to this indispensable guide book, I would recommend the US Patent Office's Independent Inventors Conferences. These are annual and you to hear from and ask questions to inventors and patent clerks. Visit the USPTO website for more information. Showing reviews 1-5 of 72 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...15 Next »
