Publisher's Synopsis
Are you an independent inventor, technician, engineer, or a scientist or student of engineering or science?
If so, you likely create innovations that might be patentable. But, you may not know whether your inventions truly are patentable, how to use a patent to protect or to monetize your inventions, or how valuable a patent might really be. To answer those questions, an inventor needs to understand some of the legal aspects of patenting an invention, but that need not be a deep dive into patent law. This book offers a "lay of the land" of patenting inventions to protect or monetize inventions without a law course treatment of patenting, and quick start you to deciding whether or not to pursue a patent, and how to do it.
