: : What do you mean by quality of claims? : Dear Don Ritter, : The toughest part is getting financing if you need it. : You can get a patent and have claims that are so weak that the idea can be used without infringing the patent you have. : I had a recent inquiry where this happened. The client had a patent, obtained from a legitimate patent practicioner. The patent was probably valid but the claims were so limited that others could and were using the inventive idea without infringing the patent. : Our Reality Check(sm) or a patent search, might have be able to warn the inventor that though the patent was available that the prospective cost and limited scope of protection may not have justified filing. : M.
