For anyone who's ever hoped their invention will be as ubiquitous as Velcro, this book offers clear, detailed, copious instruction on how to submit a patent. Pressman (a patent attorney) discusses patents, inventions, considerations of salability, other options besides patenting, and marketing. Everything needed to apply for a patent legal format, fees, illustrations, language, patent office rules is described in detail, and all the necessary forms are included. The new edition discusses the controversial "business method" patent, expands on requirements and filing procedures, includes changes resulting from the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999, and lists useful websites.
