An Inside View of Reality January 11, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Finally, an easy to read, layman's version of reality as it describes the best pathway to success for a neophyte inventor who believes their medical device idea will provide them with their contribution to medicine and the freedom to do exactly what they want to do in the future. Great premise but there are a few steps that come before that goal is reached...and lots of pitfalls! For those who believe that the most direct route between two points, the idea and the goal,is a straight line, this is the must read book to review first so the line stays straight. I've been there once and am now on my second venture and I will tell you, Mr. Kullmann's experience is easier on the heart and body than is the experience of mishap. Lessen your anxiety and heighten your awareness...buy the book.

Great Book! January 2, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great book, easy for the layman to read and understand. The Inventor's Guide for Medical Technology is a very useful tool, both as an initial guide to inventors of medical technology and as a reference guide. If you are involved in the development of a medical device, pharma, biotech, health care software or other health care offerings, this is the book to help you get started. It would also be very helpful to Biomedical engineers and business school students and graduates as well as to physicians and other health care providers that are inventing. Practical advice and guidance for a very low price. A highly recommended read!

A Lawyer's Perspective May 22, 2012
Format:Paperback
As an attorney representing small companies and businessmen, I often have new entrepeneurs who come to my office seeking help with the building blocks necessary to launch a new business: whether creating an LLC or "S" Corp.; protecting a name or symbol; or creating vehicles for raising money. In most instances these are very talented folks with only the vaguest idea how to turn their notions into successful businesses.

This book is going to be a great tool for me advising these people in the future. It sets out a planned, rational course for entrepeneurs to evaluate their prospects for success, then achieve that success. For my purposes, it enables me to advise these clients where my services fit into their plans and needs, as well as how to prioritize and organize their energies and finite funding.

This is a resource I wish I'd had in the past. It will certainly be a standard reference for my clients in the future.
