Do-it-yourself patent protection, and how to get it.
2/17/2003
Nolo's sound reputation for do-it-yourself law books is strengthened with the third edition of Nolo's Patents for Beginners. The new version updates recent court cases on patent law, including the important Festo case. The book doesn't recommend you do it all yourself, but it will help you keep a lid on lawyers' fees by describing the steps you can take on your own. Tips are provided, for example, on patent searching and how to document your invention. At its root, Nolo's Patents for Beginners will give you a clear understanding of the patent process, what it protects, and your rights once awarded a patent. A good resource for inventors, entrepreneurs, and businesspeople in general.
