Description

Rich Goldstein is the Founder of Goldstein Patent Law. He has landed over 2,000 patents for his clients over the last 25 years. He is also the author of the book the ABA Consumer Guide to Obtaining a Patent. Today, Rich is going to share his wealth of knowledge with inventors, hardware startups, and small product manufacturers regarding the types of patents you can obtain for an invention, tips and tricks that optimize the process, and how to continue to protect your intellectual property as your hardware product evolves over the years.

Today you will hear us talk about:

• Utility vs Design vs Provisional 
• Time constraints of each type of patent
• Steps that you need to take to preserve your rights
• Over time, what do you do to protect with your ongoing development?
• You want to make your claims specific enough, that it is still relevant to the marketplace
• Filing a continuation in part to an improvement to your product over time
• Filing a continuation, slightly different than a continuation in part
