The IP SAAVY’s approach embodied in my book and IP-BC course is the only utility patenting course you will ever need. It offers a framework for IP acquisition based on TSM (The Schwartz Method) for acquiring utility patents with Sustainable Competitive Advantage (SCA). I show how TSM can be integrated into the product development lifecycle using my BBT model (Big Bang Theory of IP Capitalization) for sequencing patent filing with the product development lifecycle. Using a post AIA point of view, I focus on how to accelerate MPEP compliant utility patent formation with innovation players that are experts as well as those that have little to no formal patenting knowledge. The IP SAVVYS Book is a great starting point and works well alongside the Course. IP-BC is a Do-It-Almost-All Yourself (DIAAY) MPEP compliant tool using TSM universal patent language and guiding principles. In the journey down the IP corridor of uncertainty, I show you how to refocus on and reformulate your (and/or your team’s) patent strategy. Use TSM & BBT to identify and revise critical path patent workflows. Take TSM on your pathway to patentship and achieve quality utility patents that have strategic competitive advantage. When you apply TSM best practices, you will reach your patent goals at the lowest cost, with highest quality, and greatest speed. In our First-To-File world put us into your practice to ensure your patents are “Filed First, Right-First-Time”. Show less
