The USPTO periodically holds live online chat sessions where independent inventors can log in and pose questions to senior officials. The next one is this Wednesday, September 16th, from 2:00-3:00 EST. Independent inventors can find out more information about how to participate in these chat sessions at the USPTO’s website. These online chat sessions are part of the USPTO’s efforts to promote the independent inventor community. Some of the questions posed and answered during past sessions include:
“i have an invention, i just need to know how to patent it and make it mine?”
“I am a colleg senior, I have a 12 step utility procces that I would like to patent. Will filing be overwhelming and too much work? How much work will actually be needed to put in the work?”
“What’s the best way to research for a product idea that may already exist?”
“What are the risks of working with invention development companies?”
“Can inventors check the credentials of Invention Companies, like the BBB, do you have something like that?”
“my product will be used internationaly, Do i patent it only in the US first and then International or do i apply globaly?”
“We have two independent inventors, can we assign the patenr rights to one of them only?”
Inventors can also contact the USPTO’s Inventor’s Assistance Center at 800-786-9199 to ask specific questions on the patent process.
