1. Legal Advice
None of the information
provided in this website should be construed as or used as legal advice. The information provided here is for
educational purposes only, in order to help inventors learn background
information before consulting an attorney. Advice on what course of action to take with regard to an
invention, patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property issue
is fact and situation specific.
Consult with an attorney for specific advice regarding your particular
situation. As noted in the solo inventor
contact page, I am happy to provide an initial consultation to an inventor
at no charge, provided the inventor review all of the information
materials before contacting me.
Such initial consultation does not include rendering of any legal
opinions or performing any legal services, which are at additional charge.
2. Lawyer Advertising
Nothing in this
web page should be construed as a guarantee of specific results for a
client. As noted in my patents
page, the relative success or failure of a patent depends largely on the value
and worth of the underlying invention itself. Competent prosecution can help insure that what rights are
available to an inventor are properly secured. However, I do not guarantee or suggest that my skills in
Patent Prosecution can cause your underlying invention to succeed. Moreover, the chances or obtaining a
Patent or a Patent of specific coverage depend upon a number of factors, many
of which are outside the control of the Attorney, including the posture of the
Examiner, discovered Prior Art, and the reasonableness and dedication of the
inventor to the project. We can
only promise to use our best efforts in attempting to obtain Patent Protection
for you.
3. Invention Promotion
I am not an
invention promoter, broker, or developer. I do not recommend the services of any such
individuals or companies. My
practice is limited to preparing and prosecuting Patent Applications before the
Patent & Trademark Office and related Intellectual Property legal
matters. It has been my experience
that the inventor is the best invention promoter of their invention.
