Review
“Patenting an idea can be really expensive and intimidating. When I was starting out, I read this terrific book called Patent It Yourself, by a lawyer named David Pressman. It was really straightforward. Using that book, I wrote GoPro’s first patent myself. It was this 600-page tome that I went maniacal on. When I took it to the attorneys to get their opinion and to see how much it would cost for them to finalize it, they told me I’d just saved myself a lot of money―I’d basically done the whole thing myself. More important, the book gave me a good understanding of what’s patentable and what’s not. For any entrepreneur who’s inventing something, it’s the one book you should read.” Bloomberg Business Week – Ask a Billionaire: GoPro’s Nick Woodman on the Book ‘Patent It Yourself’.
“Now in a fully updated and significantly revised 19th edition,
“Patent It Yourself: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Filing at the U.S. Patent Office” continues to be a complete course of instruction from start to finish, guiding inventors and entrepreneurs through the process of getting a patent. Patent attorneys David Pressman and David E. Blau draw upon their impressive expertise to provide the latest information, forms, and clear instructions to: Conduct a patent search the right way; Evaluate an idea’s commercial potential; File a provisional patent application to get “patent pending” status; Prepare a patent application; Focus on the patent application’s claims; Respond to patent examiners; Get drawings done right; Protect rights in foreign countries; Deal with infringers; Market and license an invention. This new 19th edition covers all the latest implications of the first-to-file rules created by the congressional America Invents Act. While unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, community, and academic library collections, it should be noted that “Patent It Yourself: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Filing at the U.S. Patent Office” is also available in a digital book format”. The Midwest Book Review“If you want to cut through the patent red tape and possibly save thousands of dollars,
Patent It Yourself… has all the forms and instructions needed to patent a product in the United States.” The Washington Post“Contains all necessary forms and instructions plus advice on marketing your invention.”
