DISCLAIMERS:

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.
