A do-it-yourself approach to securing patent protection, part 1 in a series on protecting your inventions with limited resources

This series will present some procedural guidance for entrepreneurs and inventors who would otherwise either not pursue protection for their inventions, or would file a patent application pro se without the input of a qualified patent practitioner. It can be beyond the budget of many inventors having a professional patent practitioner draft and file a patent application. The topics discussed in this series will focus exclusively on patents and will not cover other forms of intellectual property (IP) such as trademarks and copyrights.
