Do you have a new idea but don't know how to best protect it?  Do you know the importance of the dates when you first show your invention to the public or file a provisional patent?  Do you know what requirements are to be satisfied before the patent office will grant your patent application?  There are many issues to consider before and during the application process and unless you are aware of them you could lose your rights to a patent. 

This week I am offering free 30 minute consults on patents.  The consults may be over the phone or using internet based video conferencing.  During the consult I will review with you the patenting process using a flowchart that depicts the process.  If you are interested here is what you need to do:

1. You will need to contact me via email to request the free 30 minute consult between November 12 and November 16.  My email address is displayed in the top right corner of this webpage.  We will then setup a time via email.  Please do not call me regarding this offer.  
2. You will need to download and print my flowchart that depicts the patenting process before the consult.  Navigate to my IP Websites page and then look for the link "Flowchart Depicting the Patenting Process" in the "Attorney Online Forms and Downloads" section.
3. If you miss our appointment or you do not have my flowchart printed out before the consult you will forfeit your free consult.

I look forward to meeting each of you!
