Great answer Roger for determining the VALUE of the patent. I was wondering how much it COSTS too a couple days ago. The Cost of sale = Discounts + Commission + Fees. The cost structure of a brokered deal is not readily available on any of the brokerages sites. I found this in a 2012 article though @ http://www.smart-biggar.ca/en/articles_detail.cfm?...

Well, you know what they say about opinions, right? I am sure it's not all doom and gloom...

Technically, it would be throwing money at the "solution". Patents are Inventions that are solutions to problems; not problems in themselves. For example, people who want to sell advice paint the worst picture so to scare people into buying advice to avoid. People who are trying to attract a following market the best features. But in the middle is the pragmatic reality. If it were me, I would do the research up front and find the broker with the lowest fees and then negotiate a portion or all of the fee to commission based. That is the pragmatic reality... All things are negotiable"... Prepare for the worst and expect the best.

That is mud... You slung it first... You must be in the mood! HAHA I have no time... You might see a problem with people not finding a value in your product or book so that you have to give it away free... lol... that is throwing money at a problem... But that is reality, lower the price to meet market demand.

Gentlemen, Once again, I remind you that this should stay on topic and there should be mutual respect. If you have nothing respectful and informational to add, please refrain from taking the post to the negative.

Roger, You were not correct in proposing there was an error in our patent filing strategy. You don't know and you spoke directly about my business that you don't understand or agree with. That makes it mud. I don't talk about your unemployability and you don't talk about my strategic decisions. You have to be reminded to stay neutral... Just stay neutral. That's all. Not about feelings it is about a realistic pragmatic approach and observing boundaries defined by topic.

Oh, my, I agree with Michelle. Its easy to get off track. But honestly I saw no mud slinging - just a counterpoint. Reminds me a bit of Saturday Night Live - Point Counterpoint though LOL. Have a good day folks. |

did you see how fast I received my patent? Near record timing, right? 9 months2 patents cleared in 11 months... How? strategy! What I did was called a strategy. Strategy achieves an end by a measure of means. If you don't agree with getting a patent quickly and without a fight then you won't agree with my strategy that costs a little bit more money. You save every penny. You have to fight for it harder which is why you write books about difficulty. I spend more money according to my means and have stories of grandeur but really I bought it. For you to say I made a mistake is very narrow minded. I did what I wanted to do and it was Amazing!
