Tom Colson Talks With Inventors on Got Invention Radio

April 14, 2011 by IP.comPress0

Tonight, Tom Colson, CEO of IP.com will be talking live on GOT INVENTION RADIO. Listeners may call or email questions to host Brian Fried during the show at 877-474-3302 or brian@gotinvention.com.

Among the topics Tom will be addressing are:

  • Patents defined. (What a patent is and is not; different types; rights and protections of a patent; ways to get around a patent.)
  • Assessing the need for a patent. (When/under what circumstances should an individual inventor be going out and be spending money on a patent?)
  • Alternatives to patenting. (Covering defensive publishing, trade secrets, use of Non-Disclosure Agreements, or NDA, in advance of patent application, and use of search to determine validity.)
  • International filing. (How to protect in other countries. And… Manufacturing in China and what that means with respect to an inventor’s patent rights.)

Please help spread the word on your blogs and Twitter. And don’t forget to tune in at 8pm EST on Thursday, April 14. Just go to http://www.gotinvention.com and click on the “Live” tab there.

  • Tim Kingan: Mark, yes, your point about searching broadly and narrowing with use of technology class (and subclass) is important. However, when searching non-patent literature, proximity operators would be very useful, since keywords often need to be seen in their context in order to manage a workload. Scirus goes part way there by displaying snippets of text which may display more than one of provided keywords. However, for those tools I know of (Google Scholar, Scirus and now ip.com), proximity operators seem not to be available. View Post
