Inventors, dreamers, innovators, and concept designers have a visually enhanced brain, and they can create and conceive of nearly anything. They are creative geniuses, and we are lucky to have them in our civilization and society. Unfortunately with this incredible gift, they often lack the incessant details, and inability to work within a structured environment of forms, law, and filing the patents they need to protect their genius.
Perhaps, this is why I purchased a book on how to design and create your own patents, and one that will give you enough information to do most of the legwork in advance, prior to taking your invention idea to a patent attorney. Once you and your patent attorney file a number of patents, after a while you get good at it, and you can start filing them yourself, paying the fees directly. I'd like to recommend a very good book to you on this topic, the book is;
"Nolo's Patterns for Beginners," by David Pressman and Richard Stim, 2001
The book covers statutory classes and issues with process patents and software, machines and tooling, manufacturing processes, and chemical compositions of matter. He goes into great detail about organic patents for plants and genetic engineering, utility patents, design patterns and concept patents. He explains the difference between the 17 year patterns and 20 year patents and how all that changed the game. He explains first use, prototyping, and conception of the idea.
He explains how immoral patents are not enforceable and that no patent issued can be used for illegal purposes. He also explains why whimsical patents are not accepted. He explains the advantages of the patent, who owns the patent when it's federally sponsored research, and the issues of the field of invention, the scope of the invention, and prior art discussion. He explains the patent drawings, cross-referencing, and alternative uses.
Indeed, I have this book in my personal library and I use it from time to time, and I would recommend that anyone who is a Hobby inventor or innovator to pick up a copy and put it in their personal library. I hope you will please consider this.
