The Patent Protractor: A Tool for a Least One Prudent Business

The Patent Protractor: A Tool for a Least One Prudent Business Planner

Illustrations and condensed topical summaries expand a business planner's understanding of patents and the patent system: crushing patent myths and moving the prudent technology business planner beyond simplistic maxims such as "Got an idea? Get a patent!"

Salient junctures prompt moments of reflection for a technology business planner: Why do we think we need a patent?
Do we have what is or will be a commercially superior invention?
Have we considered the costs and timelines for obtaining (or being denied) a patent?
Have we considered patents owned by competitors?
Have we considered the costs of enforcing and defending patents domestically and abroad?

Graphic summaries of the patent process prompt moments of reflection for a technology business planner:
Do the patent claims under examination or presently allowed address a commercially superior solution?
