Just The Facts, M'am,
By
This review is from: Patents and How to Get One: A Practical Handbook (Paperback)
This little book is an invaluable reference to patent facts and law. Although published by a third party, it was originally a government issued publication and is one of those crystal-clear presentations that has obviously been crutinized and clarified to the max. Most of the books on getting a patent and cashing in on your invention are so packed with ancillary information that the really basic (and important) information is buried. This book is very easy to read and addresses all frequently asked questions, as well as anything that would be important to your quest for a patent. I like the bit about how to get a patent if the inventor is insane. Aren't all inventors a bit "like that"?

Great for the Beginner,
By "gustycane1" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Patents and How to Get One: A Practical Handbook (Paperback)
This book provides a thorough overview of the patent process and the US Patent and Trademark Office. It was wonderful for a beginner. There were ten pages alone dedicated to the specifications and limitations for drawings and photographs to put in a patent application. For someone who knows nothing about the process, this is a great introduction. It also refers to other publications by the government and locations to get samples of some of the forms. I feel comfortable now to move on to reading other books about the patent process.

Nice Reference,

This review is from: Patents and How to Get One: A Practical Handbook (Paperback)
This book is nice reference for people who want to learn more about the patent process. For prospective inventors, this book details the steps one needs to take in order to apply for a patent. If you are serious about applying for a patent, I would not recommend using this book as a sole reference, but as a starting point.
