AN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ASSESSMENT
You can hire an MEInc Consultant to go through your
company, products & services with a fine tooth comb.
We sign a non-disclosure agreement and
systematically review every nuance of your business
for exploitable property (confidentially).
After thorough review we will label all of the
unique components and claims that we think should be
considered for formal treatment (as part of your
"intellectual property portfolio"). We will
also recommend ways for your company to exploit
intellectual property for profit and/or use your
property to leverage other business enhancements
(things like marketing, licensing & product
placement through our network).

WHERE
Information and resources exists all
over the Internet. There are countless books and
reference materials on the topic of intellectual
property. For convenience we have collected a list
of some of these resources:
BOOKS
The Entrepreneurs Guide to Patents,
Copyrights, Trademarks, Trade Secrets & Licensing by
Jill Gilbert: A great book to learn in detail about
all of the things that we only covered quickly on this
website. It contains more in-depth content on
copyrights, computer software and references to case law
(who picked a fight over what and whether they won or
lost) than the other books listed here.
Excellent for general knowledge and dodging common
mistakes.
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cashing In On Your Invention
by Richard C. Levy: The author holds more than 30
patents and is something of a toy and consumer product
guru. It is an easy read with a comedic approach
and is an excellent "general information" book to spark your
creativity and enthusiasm.
Patent It Yourself
by David Pressman:
This book takes you step by step through the process
of filing a PATENT with advice on the applications
process. The book does what it claims to do and
shows you how to PATENT your idea. The reference
materials are actual forms and PATENT examples.
This is a textbook style publication, very informative
and thorough. David has a companion to this book
which helps the average person understand the "drawings"
component of PATENTS. That book is called
How To Make
Patent Drawings.
The 22
Irrefutable Laws of Advertising (and when to violate
them) by Michael Newman: This book
contains 22 separate chapters by 22 separate
advertising executives/creators. It is geared
towards folks who understand the advertising world
(and the history of advertising). Despite the
sometimes empty references of movers and shakers in
the ad world it is an excellent creative resource
for tapping into your own ideas about the American
Consumer.

"After 8 years as an architectural
designer/contractor and entertainer I invested another 8
years learning the legal and financial process of
managing intellectual property and performance art.
I have become well versed on the topic. I strongly
advise even my most competent clients to limit 'Do It
Yourself' activities to 'Copyrights and Trademarks'.
For a whole host of reasons (not the least of which is
that legal language can be a dangerous double-edged
sword) anyone who is considering filing a PATENT should
enlist the help of a qualified legal patent
professional." - Mark Mahar
