Why do it?

Most patents do not recover the cost of patenting. Sad but true. Maybe some patents were bad ideas. That happens. Often, though, competitors get around the patent. Downer. Wouldn’t it be great if they couldn’t?  
By the same token, wouldn't it be great if you could invent beyond a problematic competitor’s patent?
​
Special Offer: - We will provide an analysis of the patent portfolio of any attendee company. The analysis will show which patents in your portfolio have most potential value, and which patents are not worth the paper they are written on.
