Abstract

Mitchell has completely handled the successful patenting process for two US patents, and also has had one patent application rejected and used the service of a patent agent to apply for a Canadian patent.   In this talk, Mitchell will describe what is actually required to write your own patent application, and what happens after that.   Mitchell will also discuss his first-hand experiences with, and thoughts about the patenting process.
