What to Expect When filing a Patent Application:
Our show topic last week was “What to Expect in the Filing of your Patent Application.” Joining us was independent inventor, Connie Gordon. After graduating from college in 1993, Connie began working for a custom and spec home builder as a project manager and acted as a liaison between subcontractors, vendor and customer. When the company relocated out of state, she started her own company, “Poirier Homes LLC” which she has now had for over 14 years.

 Connie designs all of the homes and builds them. She is a mother of 2. The building business led to her first invention. The second invention solved a problem between her children and her pets. Contact Connie at www.PoirierHomes.com.If you have the common inventor’s dilemma of how to get a large number of consumers aware of your invention and provide them with a means to buy it, you need to listen to this week’s edition of Entrepreneur Magazine’s Inventions, Patents and Beyond. Joining hosts Jillian Freed, Attorney Steven Leavitt and Attorney John Pemberton will be Steve Weiner. Steve has been in sales since 1971, representing major houseware companies. In 1999 he made the committment to specialize in bringing new products to QVC, A COMPANY THAT ALLOWS THE INDEPENDENT ENTREPENUER TO SHOW A PRODUCT DIRECTLY TO THE CONSUMER. Less than 3% of the products that QVC buyers view will go on air. STEVE CAN HELP YOU BE PART OF THAT 3%.
