The decision to move forward in prosecuting a patent application is a big one.

If not that, it can offer a very good living to those wiling to work for it. Leverage his experiences in your application to deliver the best possible results in the product development space.
Many patents, even though granted, never make it to market, at least profitably. One might ask why is that? Because, as you see in various places on this website, and what you hear from me when speak, is that a patent is not a product, it is a protective device offered to you by the federal government (and perhaps federal governments if you file in more than one country). Not only that, a patent is not a guarantee of profitability. A patent does not mean you will become wealthy, it does not mean you will it be able to supply your product to consumers, it does not mean you will be able to sell your product. A patent is one part of the product development process, one that offers a barrier to entry for competitors that desire to be in your market space. Successful products and business people make sure that all elements required under a sustainable business are carefully considered and achieved in their effort towards business success, including patent protection. Mike is not just a patent expert and practitioner, he’s a business expert and offers his many years of experience and expertise to product developers, inventors, and business people in their quest for success.
