So you’ve been noodling around with this idea, you’ve tested it out, you think it is even new, useful and non-obvious. What now? Have you thought about applying for a patent? It is truly amazing how creative and innovative we all get when money is tight. We find new ways of doing things… usually faster, cheaper, and better than what we’re used to. Maybe you can’t afford to go out and by that new widget you need to get the job done so you make your own and wind up improving it in the process. You may just have come across a patentable invention!

In a down economy there are so many things that are uncertain and out of your control. Your ideas put into practice, your inventions, are something that is in your control. It is your currency in a down economy. But only if you protect it.

As a patent agent, I have a long-lived love for all things related to intellectual property. From that moment of inspiration to the actual reduction to a tangible invention, I have always been facinated with the creative process. In that vein, I wanted to point you over to nun-o | New, Useful, Non-Obvious which is my blog for discussion of all things related to intellectual property. I look forward to seeing you there!
