If you're an inventor or product developer, it's a huge mistake to try to patent an invention yourself--unless you have a clear understanding of good patent writing. Every year, thousands of uninformed inventors waste their time and money in the false pursuit of worthless patents.

The Patent Writer explains in detail how to write effective patent applications that can be filed for less than $100. In simple layman's terms, the book reveals pertinent patent laws and facts, discusses superior word usage, and explores the methodologies required to ensure that your patents cannot be exploited by others. First-time and experienced inventors / engineers alike will learn how to write powerful patent applications that support and protect their product's potential.

Endorsed by leading inventors, patent attorneys, and government agencies, The Patent Writer takes the mystery out of writing patents. It will save the reader thousands in attorney's fees, speed up product development, and help avoid the consequences of poorly written patent applications.
