Chris typically works on a fixed-fee basis – so no worries about unexpected large legal bills – you know what it will cost you before you give the go-ahead to draft/file/prosecute your patent application. Wood and Eisenberg, PLLC is located close to the United States Patent and Trademark Office – we are so close we routinely conduct F2F interviews with Patent Examiners. Why pay the cost of airfares and traveling time? We charge just $600 per F2F interview. F2F interviews can knock off several months from the average time to prosecute a patent application through to a final decision on the merits.Dr. Christopher Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09066490027824527304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-12990263771207239812008-12-22T22:34:00.000+01:002008-12-22T22:34:00.000+01:00Mr Midwales - Its the Daily Sport, not the Star. ...Mr Midwales - Its the Daily Sport, not the Star.

Thankfully, snippets like this one in the Wales on Sunday show their talents off to the full.<BR/><BR/>It looks very much like Montgomeryshire is in need of a 'Stop the Conservative' candidate. Or Glyn will be thrust helplessly into to the centre of a whole herd of Tories in Westminster.

I'm afraid anything he does, and I mean anything, one immediately thinks he's doing it simply to draw attention to himself, and consequently is not taken seriously by anyone.

He looked to be angling for an arrest. Sometimes publicists try hard to be arrested by the police to draw attention to themselves. Perhaps you think I should have tried a 'Citizen's Arrest'. <BR/><BR/>P-man - So happens that I hink the Segway looks to be a good idea.

These are magnificent machines - so well designed. Part patrolmen/women use them too. Great way to get around. In the USA Covered by US Patent No. 5,971,091. <BR/><BR/>Wales could have come up with the Segway, but would Wales have patented it? A Welsh invention not patented can be copied and distributed by any Tom, Dick, Harry, foreign competitor. <BR/><BR/>The assignee of the Segeway (DEKA Products Limited Partnership) is, I understand, a very successful and profitable enterprise. Not surprising given that it patent protects its inventions!

Particularly when it is Politically expedient.<BR/><BR/>I just wonder how far you are willing to take this turning of the blind eye in furtherence of your political aspirations.<BR/><BR/>I suppose that we'll just have to wait and see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
