Shop4Patents

Entrepreneur Magazine’s Inventions, Patents & Beyond, the internet radio show for inventors, we welcome President of WS Radio, Mr. Chris Murch who will help us answer the question “Can you protect your IP without a patent?” Making your invention a trade secret is one way to protect your invention without a patent and we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of trade secrets, (while we try to pry them out of Chris of course). Also, we will discuss common law rights to trademarks and why registering your copyrighted work may not be necessary.

Inventor Story Contest:

We want your inventor stories. We are doing some special promotions and we will take your story and promote it worldwide for you FREE!!! But obviously we can’t do this if we don’t have the story. Your invention story can be as cut and dried as one paragraph or as elaborate as three pages. Don’t worry about your writing ability, we will be happy to spiff it up and check the grammar and spelling. Send your story to “radio@youinventit.com” by May 1,2006. One of the stories submitted will be chosen to receive a $500 certificate good towards the writing of a UP or DP application AND will be highlighted in our up and coming promotions…. If your story is chosen, its a free way to help promote or sell your invention.

This contest is open to all including inventors outside our office so please tell all your inventor friends and family. If they are not currently clients of our firm, they need to include the stage they are such as “patent pending, granted etc.” and a patent or registration #. Tell them to include what inspired their invention, what obstacles they encountered, what and who helped them the most, tips for other inventors, potential pitfalls, their licensing journey and where they are today( whatever is applicable of course) Include pictures if you want preferably inventors with their inventions. So inventors SIT DOWN AT YOUR COMPUTER AND TYPE!!!
