AUTHORS CORNER
Here are some Blogs that John
D. Smith finds interesting:
DON'T File a Patent! Expanded 2nd Edition is the first and only book that
shows you why NOT to file a utility patent application on your invention. In this
book, you will learn that the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO aka Patents
Office) wants your money, not your invention. You will see the obstacles the
USPTO uses to discourage inventors with their repeated Office Action
rejections.  To continue the process, inventors have to re-submit their patent
applications and pay thousands in additional legal fees.  Frequently, the
inventor is forced to abandon his application, out of frustration or by running out
of money.

Many inventors who create innovative intellectual property like patents,
trademarks and copyrights file for a patent thinking they are buying “protection”
against copycats.  However, patents do not prevent copycats.  There is no
“Patent 911” to call, nor does the Patent Office send out the “Patent Police” to
arrest the copycat.  A Utility Patent is really just an
expensive and worthless
piece of paper that only gives the inventor the right to sue.  However, patent
infringement lawsuits cost millions of dollars, which few inventors can afford.
 

DON’T File a Patent! is two great books in one.  This book also has a
marvelous foreword from Patent Attorney Patrick Anderson of Texas.  
PART 1 of
this book describes 10 reasons why not to file a patent on an invention.  You’ll
learn that it is up to the inventor to file expensive patent infringement lawsuits,
as the Patent Office does not do any enforcing.  You’ll learn the only one that
will make any money in a patent infringement lawsuit will be your patent
