5.0 out of 5 stars I have learned so much., December 15, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Inventor's Notebook: A Patent It Yourself Companion 4th Edition (Paperback)
I knew nothing about patents before this book. I have already done very important things to ensure I receive my patent which I learned from this book. This purchase is very worth it! The book is very easy to understand & I had the librarians at the houston patent library recommend it.
