There is great satisfaction, apart from remuneration in producing 'something new'.

There are many facets to inventing, design and the construction of a prototype, the patenting process and not least, the financial aspects.

All are considered in this book. Also included is a selection of 'patents past' as examples for you, from which to learn.

Many excellent books have been written explaining the patent system, but this one goes further and explains how to write your own patents, which apart from the satisfaction of doing it yourself, can save well over a thousand pounds in fees. For the small inventor this is not just an option, but a necessity.

If you cannot afford to pay a professional [pound]100 or more an hour to write a patent specification for you, then this book will show you how to write your own for one tenth of the average cost.

This book does not, and is not intended to teach the practice of patent law, it is a D I Y manual.

This is also how to produce patent drawings. It assumes no previous experience in draughting techniques.

Even an experienced draughtsman will find it useful as it deals with Isometric drawing, the approved method of presenting inventions on paper or film with which many draughters will not be familiar.

Sectional views and exploded views are covered, written by a draughtsman for draughtsmen or would-be draughters, both male and female.

Financial considerations for those contemplating a career in patent drawing are also covered.

This is a book for the D I Y Inventor who cannot afford to pay someone else to produce prototypes, patents and drawings.
