Patenting for Inventors

Have an invention and want to know how to get a patent? Patenting for Inventors is a podcast about patents, patent applications, and the patent process, hosted by registered patent attorney Adam L. Diament, J.D., Ph.D. Adam takes you through the process of protecting an invention, from the moment you have an idea through patent searching, preparing and filing a patent application, responding to the USPTO, and ultimately obtaining an issued patent. Whether you are a first-time inventor, entrepreneur, startup founder, researcher, engineer, or simply curious about how patents work, the podcast explains complicated patent concepts in clear, practical language. Topics include provisional patents, non-provisional patent applications, patent searches, patent prosecution, patent claims, patentability, prior art, patent strategy, continuations, international patents, and patent costs and fees. The podcast also explores other areas of intellectual property, including trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, licensing, and related IP issues. Adam Diament is a partner at Nolan Heimann LLP and brings his experience as both a patent attorney and scientist to the discussion. The podcast is intended for educational purposes and does not constitute legal advice.
