Book Reviews of Patents and How to Get One: A Practical Handbook

Book Review: Just The Facts, M'am
Summary: 5 Stars

This little book is an invaluable reference to patent facts and law. Although published by a third party, it was originally a government issued publication and is one of those crystal-clear presentations that has obviously been crutinized and clarified to the max. Most of the books on getting a patent and cashing in on your invention are so packed with ancillary information that the really basic (and important) information is buried.

This book is very easy to read and addresses all frequently asked questions, as well as anything that would be important to your quest for a patent. I like the bit about how to get a patent if the inventor is insane. Aren't all inventors a bit "like that"?
