Dear Entrepreneur, Eduardo Drake here. If you're reading this, I love you already, because you've got an idea to make the world a better place. And in this session, I plan to share with you enough knowledge to make it to patent pending by building and filing your own provisional patent application. If you don't know what a provisional is, don't worry I'll explain . For now it's good enough for you to know that by filing one, you'll achieve patent pending and minimize the amount of ammunition that the patent office can use to shoot your idea down.
In this fast-paced session, you'll learn the exact key principles of building not just one bulletproof provisional patent application, but as many as you imagination can conjure. You'll receive clear and concrete guidance on:
Purpose of the Provisional Patent Application; What to include in the application; What to leave out of the application. How to write a simple set to patent claims; How to incorporate technical content by reference; How to strategically use multiple provisional patent applications to optimize your protection.
In this session, Eduardo's ultimately committed to distilling 25+ years of legal wisdom into the most relevant and actionable knowledge for building a solid provisional patent application. He'll even take you on a guided tour of one of his own provisional patent applications for the craziest, certified-OMG idea you've ever heard of.
