Easy Does It
Don't let the complexities and costs of filing for a patent frustrate you. PatentEase simplifies the process, letting you prepare your own patent application and file it with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office--all without having to hire a patent attorney. The program guides you through the entire process, from writing the description to managing your drawings. Created by a patent attorney, this $349 (street) software program costs less than 10 percent of the typical $5,000-plus patent charge you could expect to pay otherwise. (To run the program, you'll need Windows 98 or above, and 64MB RAM.)

The software helps the user generate a properly formatted, full utility patent application for submitting to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

...We took longer to evaluate PatentEase because I wanted to get input from a couple of our evaluation consultants. These were people who are not experts in patent matters, which is precisely why I wanted them to review your product. They found your program easy to follow and easily understood, yet complete, which is essential.

My major concern with do-it-yourself patent books and programs has been concern over the quality of the claims inventors would write. I had the unhappy experience back in the 1970s of watching a multimillion dollar licensing agreement go sour because the inventor had written a very poor set of claims and had dumped the essence of his invention in the public domain. Fortunately, you appear to have covered this concern rather nicely...
