 help, i am a little confused! October 31, 2008
The author separates background which includes technical field, prior art and advantages from summary which merely summarizes the invention. However, many patents actually include advantages as a part of the summary. So which is the better way of organizing the patent? Is the author describing the correct/up-to-date way of drafting/organizing the patent?
Its a great book nonetheless, i am just confused about a few technical details. Please help if you can. thanks in advance!
 Information outdated October 11, 2008

I bought the 12th Edition in Feb. 2008 - suppose to be the latest revision at that time. Lots of information in there are actually out-of-date. For example, the Disclosure Document Program described in it has already been terminated by the Patent office. I followed its instructions in there and then ended up wasting lots of time.
Total waste of time and money. Well, may be the book is not that bad itself but just the rapid changing nature of the information it's covering. Afterwards I found all the information I needed from the Internet. It's better off just find them on the Web instead of depending on this book.
 One of the best September 24, 2008
This is an excellent book where the author puts everything in an orderly manner and feeds the reader with all his vast knowledge
The best of its type August 10, 2008
I wasted thousands of dollars and hours I could have used towards success if I had read "Patent it Yourself" BEFORE I became a serious inventor. This was my third edition to purchase which is testimony enough.
Awesome! July 22, 2008
Awesome book! Helped with every step of the Patent process and to clear up many, many misconceptions. I would recommend this to everyone planning to write their own patent, need help or thinking of hiring an attorney. Which you won't need after you read this book!
