Patent Project Management

What
is
Patent Project Management?
Project management is developing and implementing processes that make
patenting more uniform, efficient and cost effective.
In short, we take care of the boring, mundane details.
What are the boring, mundane details?
Anything that must get done but that isn't directly related to creating
and prosecuting your patent application. These include:
- Form Filling:
- Workflow Management
- Checklists
- Maintaining of Files
- Notifications
- Project Monitoring
- Filing Assistance
- Receiving Correspondences
- Payment Processing &
Tracking
- Opinion & Consult
Administration
- Illustration Sourcing
How do you take care of the
boring stuff?
We run and maintain a virtual network, using tools like Intuit
Quickbase and our own fully networked research platform PSV, to connect
individual inventors with sole practitioners. We have created
uniform processes for doing all of the tasks in the application
process. Costs are lower because the infrastucture is lighter (no
wood-paneled law offices to pay for, etc.), and things can move faster
because no one it bogged down with the busy work.
What is the benefit of using Simple Patents Project Management?
Lower costs. Simple Patents charges flat rates for our project
management services, and the practioners in our network perform their
services by quote, rather than billing at hourly rates.
Practioners do not need to spend extra time and energy.
Can I use your system to write
and submit my own patent application?
Sorry, but our systems are only available to registered patent
practitioners.
Does this mean I won't ever get
to talk to the practitioner?
Absolutely not! Tranparency is another tenet of our
business. You can work as closely as you like with the
practitioner on your project as you like.
