This book was birthed from a lack of "local" legal resources. The bottom line is, you CAN DIY. The main goal here, is to help you be efficient, in doing so. This book will NOT teach law, provide legal advice, teach "business 101", how to create a business plan, NOR will it teach the type of business entity to set up. This book WILL however, be the "project manager", pointing users to the resources, designed by the USPTO that may assist in learning, as you plan and complete your IP application.The biggest fear is, "Can I really do this without a lawyer?" The answer is, "Yes, you can". IS THIS FOR EVERYONE? No, not at all! Read my disclaimer at the front of the book. Legal matters should be handled by a licensed legal professional, however, sometimes situations arise when this is not attainable. Hiring a lawyer could cost $1000 or more. Time, is also a factor in hiring a lawyer, as you may need something filed quickly. Yes, this is a tremendous undertaking, but if you have time to study and understand the USPTO filing procedures, this book will help lay out the "floor plan", to assist as you secure your IP. "Is all of this necessary?" You be the judge. Secure your IP today.

The author's offering here is a simple ode to recognize the often unspoken words. The words on these pages carry no advice, judgment, or expectation. They are as they are.
