Customer Reviews: Review #1: Outstanding 2010-07-01 A tremendous resource if you're involved in the patent process, and the service from the seller was really exceptional - a great cover note thanking me for the purchase, the guide was wrapped and packaged incredibly well - all round a very satisfied consumer!! Review #2: Very Good Book! 2010-06-30 All books are concentrating on the real patent application and not the provisional one. I was very happy finding this book. It helped me really easy to write my application step by step. Everything you need is included: forms, adresses, envelopes. I can highly recommend this book to everyone. Review #3: Patent Pro Se was there when I needed it. 2005-09-01 I found Patent Pro Se to be concise, relevant, and to the point. And the point is, if you have purchased this book that you have a provisional patent to file. Correctly stated, Patent Pro Se is far more than a "book". It is a focused mentor of the most important knowledge, a provider of exactly the right forms, and a hand holder in getting the process complete. In my situation I had been working with the "Inventor's Notebook" portion of the package for about a week when I had a lunch meeting about my invention with my in-real-life patent council. I told him I had a meeting with potential project collaborators at 3:00 that afternoon. He said, "Jim, I will be glad to do your regular patent, but before you go to that meeting you really need a provisional patent submitted." I went back to my office and in the space of 2 hours, Patent Pro Se handheld me through the forms and I made it to the post office with my submission contained inside their conveniently addressed mailer. I was a bit late to my meeting, but my technology was officially "Patent Pending". Notably, Patent Pro Se was very explicit on how your preparation style affects the strengths and weaknesses of a provisional patent. Because of that, I was able to give it my best shot and know exactly where I stand with no illusions. Because of its completeness in tending to an intellectual property emergency, I would call this a Patent First Aid Kit. It is not a "hospital", but it will get you through the next meeting without bleeding IP all over the place. Review #4: A MUST-READ FOR SERIOUS INVENTORS 2005-02-18 Patent Pro Se will save many times its cost in attorney's fees, as it clearly addresses the basic legal parameters, terminology and strategies that must be employed by the successful inventor. Included is a provisional filing checklist, cover sheet and even a return postcard, as well as fee transmittal and patent assignment forms, a non-disclosure agreement, and samples of product sell and patent license letters. If that's not enough, Patent Pro Se also includes samples of patent applications and an actual issued patent, an addressed envelope, two compact disks, an Inventor's Notebook and a three-ring binder to keep everything organized. I found the CDs especially helpful, as I was able to hear the text of the manual while driving around town between appointments. Very convenient and informative. Review #5: Patent Pro Se 2004-11-09 Robert Deaver (my husband) writes, "I consider this a must buy book for patent applicatsions written by a highly successful patent pro. It is head and shoulders over three other similar books I have bought on the same subject. The organization of the contents is the easiest to use and at the same time the most precise and literate coverage I have ever seen. There is no ambiguity in any sentence. It covers tiny details of all requirements for preliminary and final patent applications. Detailed requirements to apply for applications are covered as well as form, content and even address labels to the patent office are included."
