I sued one of the largest international toy companies in federal court years ago  I have witnessed firsthand what amazing prizefighters attorneys can be. They are fantastic to watch in their element. But working with an attorney is not unlike any other business relationship. Inventors tend to place blind faith in their legal counsel; in actuality, the process of protecting your intellectual property needs to be managed and overseen closely.

  

Educate yourself: attorneys are only as good as the information you give them. You will save both time and money if you’re familiar with intellectual property protection – copyrights, trademarks, and patents. I highly recommend David Pressman’s “Patent Yourself in 24 Hours”. It’s a great resource.
