Pitching Patents: Selling Engineers on Education

Jul 9, 2024 | ipwatchdog.com | Joseph Monaghan

“As natural problem solvers, engineers are always inventing, but they’re not always patenting. If you want to capture and protect those efforts and innovations, first convince them to care and then educate them to succeed.”As in house counsel, I encounter many different managers and engineers with varying levels of support and enthusiasm for patents.
Examiner Interviews: Don’t Argue

Jan 25, 2024 | ipwatchdog.com | Joseph Monaghan |Eileen McDermott

“Despite how attorneys may sometimes feel, examiners are not the enemy. They are not goalies trying to stop any invention from allowance…. They are an adversary if you treat them like one. Don’t.”An examiner interview is the best tool available to progress patent prosecution.

Meeting Marvels: The Value and Necessity of Invention Disclosure Meetings

Sep 28, 2023 | ipwatchdog.com | Joseph Monaghan

“Invention disclosure meetings make better invention disclosures, but they also make better inventors.”The single best tool available to increase patent value and decrease patent costs is not directed to application drafting or patent prosecution or law firm selection.

When I was outside counsel and I received a new application to draft, the very first thing I did was set up a meeting with the inventors.
