Patent Pending in 24 Hours "With CD"

As soon as you file a provisional patent application (PPA) with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office, you establish an effective filing date for
your invention – and you can use the term "patent pending" on it.
Best of all, you'll establish proof of your claim and not pay for a full
patent until you figure out whether your invention is worth the cost.

With Patent Pending in 24 Hours, you'll have all the forms and information
you need to get the job done! This book will help you:

Patent Pending in 24 Hours also includes a nondisclosure agreement, patent
assignment, prototype-maker agreement and joint-ownership agreement to
help you preserve your rights when showing or selling your invention.

The 2nd edition is completely updated and revised with updated case law
and patent regulations, six new PPA samples and new patent-searching
information.
