Leon Cooper Signs The Patent Jungle: The Inventor's Friendly User Guide

Built a better mousetrap? Congratulations – but grab your machete,

’cause it’s a jungle out there! Fortunately, you have Malibu’s own Leon

Cooper
to lead you out of the darkness. In his new book The Patent Jungle, Leon uses his own experiences as

an inventor to create a road map through the process for the neophyte

who wants to patent an invention. Should you do the patent “search”

yourself? Should you hire a lawyer, and, if so, how much will you pay?

Can you anticipate the patent examiner’s questions? And, most

importantly, where can you get free help? You’ll find the answers in

this invaluable guide!
