Some things
I do include:
* Evaluate proposed technologies;
* Write
and file US patent applications;
* File US Patents based on PCT cases;
* Search prior art to help determine whether a proposed invention
may be patentable, or whether an existing patent may be invalid; and
* Patent Drawings.
If you want
straight talk and expert advice on the strengths and weaknesses of your
ideas, strategy, technology, or that of another party, and you want to be
treated right, consider calling me, Chris Whewell.
I'll deliver more value for the money than you're likely to find anywhere
else concerning the creation of value from your intellectual assets, or
the destruction of the competitive advantage of your competitor(s).
If your invention is patentable, I can represent you before the US Patent
Office in filing and arguing your case for you. For patents, I quote a flat
fee, once I know the total complexity / nature of the case. That
way, you won't get a huge invoice at the end of the
matter, as often occurs with other providers.
Our patentability searches are a high value, because of their thoroughness,
contents, and cost, based on my 17 years experience in doing patent
searches. If the search shows that your invention appears
patentable, at your request I can provide a detailed cost and timeline breakdown of what I believe you
should expect to experience in attempting to patent the invention.
INNOVATE OR DIE
Unless you are THE lowest-cost
producer of material in a commodity market, you will
either establish and maintain a competitive advantage based on features, per
chapter 13 of Michael Porter's seminal work "Competitive Advantage", or else you
will not be in business long, at high profit levels
Competing on price
alone is a race to the bottom, and
eventually, the weakest must exit. We continue to see this even in
what appear to outsiders as being well-managed companies. Most don't know or
admit it, but we've been in an economic revolution since about Y2K.
Tom Friedman's "The World is Flat" attempts to describe it.
Fact is, that companies which exit commodity markets
in this revolution are ripe for
having their other revenue streams attacked, and they usually don't even
realize the underpinnings of why until it is too late, if ever.
To be profitable today, you MUST establish and maintain a competitive advantage if
you are to be in business, or you may be able to rely on patents to
provide a sustainable
competitive advantage, although patents are but one tool.
Do not
expect typical patent service providers to provide
the necessary commercial advice -- they're trained only in law.
Similarly, commercial businessmen are not trained in the intricacies of patent law.
Successful commercialization requires, inter alia, a special interrelationship between the two, and THERE IS AN INHERENT
CHASM BETWEEN THESE GROUPS IN MOST BUSINESSES TODAY.
Bridging this gap is essential to your success, whether you are an
individual or a large corporation.
Part of the answer is putting someone on your team who has substantial
knowledge and experience with the intracacies of patent law AND in means of technology commercialization.
This can occur in some business teams that have worked together for a
substantial amount of time. My
Master's degree in Technology Commercialization combined with my patent
writing and prosecuting experience provides a unique skillset that you'll
not be likely to find elsewhere.
After
surveying your company and industry landscape, a system
can be devised for your invention(s) or company which is unique, based on
your organization or invention, and is not readily duplicable by others.
This will lead you to the essence of a sustainable competitive advantage
that is unique to your business, its capabilities and plans. It gets to
the heart of why none of the competition can copy Southwest Airlines'
business model.
If you're
an individual inventor, there is a good chance that one or more of your competitors
will be a large company at some point. Understanding your competition is necessary
before an appropriate and effective long-term strategy can be developed. The Teledesic case from the
Harvard Business School is one good example of one analysis technique.
Without these considerations, you may be exposing yourself.
If you've gotten this
far, you now realize that large companies do not necessarily have more
advantages over smaller ones. Large companies' weaknesses can make
them more vulnerable than small companies' strengths make them strong, but only to the extent
that smaller companies understand the precise nature of the source of
strengths and weaknesses in commercial enterprises.

If you have a good enough invention that you will
make money selling it, others will definitely copy it. The patent laws were
designed to protect inventors by providing a limited monopoly on your invention so that only
you can profit from your labors, if you take proper full advantage of the Law.

Consultation
Get a second opinion from us, or discusss strategic
options. Our experience provides a good sounding board and is a strong asset for
you. We can answer any of your patent-related questions.PROTECT YOURSELF !!!
We believe that you should consult with a professional patent
practitioner before making any disclosures of your invention to anyone, to avoid
forfeiting or waiving your rights. I have seen many inventors make mistakes by acts
and omissions they made prior to seeking advice. Don't be in that crowd. It
really is worth the little money you would spend in seeking advice. |
