Don't Have Patents? Click Here to Protect Your Right To Exist

Who is using your company's patents?   ...and where is the proof?
I can help you to answer these two most crucial questions, allowing your
legal staff to focus more time on licensing rather than technical research.

 Here is an example of how I can work for you:

 1.  I get from you a list of approved assets (patents) in your portfolio.
     It is best provided by your legal staff, as being assets that your company considers
     valid, long lasting, neither divested nor on the auction block.  (The USPTO bulk
     data, aggregated by assignee, does not reflect on later sales/purchases; therefore if
     your company does have a list  of assets currently owned and in good standing, it
     would be most preferable.)

2.  I mine those assets, performing "asset discrimination" for relevance according to:
     a.  Area of Technology
          I deal primarily in software patents, and discriminate by general product type.
          The discrimination categories may also be used to distribute mined information
          to various enforcement programs in house.  Although I prefer software patents
          for deeper analysis and EOU generation, I knowledgeably discriminate assets
          to many different areas of hardware and software, providing asset lists for a
          broad spectrum of product types / enforcement programs.
     b.  Ease of proof
          The "report of use" should make obvious sense, whether in or out of court.
          The more "front-loaded" proofs are more courtroom/management friendly than
          other types requiring greater skill in the art or deeper/more exotic explanations.
     c.  Simple and direct usage scenarios
          There should be a usage scenario simple enough to survive "usage scenario drift".
          The more complicated a selected claim, the more likely that updates and other
          changes to product operation and/or installation and deployment may cause some
          previously valid usage scenarios to become obsolete.   It may be observed that
          market-side attrition (such as usage scenario drift) is more rapid than patent-
          side attrition (such as invalidation issues etc.); thus it may be better to spend more
          time in mining better assets than in charting the more complex dependent claims,
          provided that the simpler independent claim is not considered likely to present
          any validity issues.  While I would see this as a criteria for asset mining, in any
           project I am responsive to attorney requests for particular / specific assets,
          claims, product mappings and or policies regarding any and all things.
     d.  Industry trends and markets
          The usage report should read on high volume usage in today's marketplace.
          A good technical familiarity with the market is paramount in detecting the most
          likely markets for usage of each asset.
3.  Of the "preferred asset list" thereby generated, I develop EOU (evidence of use)
     reports reading on high volume markets/products, comprising within such EOUs:
     a.  Screen shots as required
     b.  Network activity monitor logs as required
     c.  New/Custom Diagnostic Applications (made publicly available) as required
          Upon occasion I may create open source applets for demonstrating internal
          realities.  Such may be used in highly visible, externally verifiable proofs.
     d.  Any other "front-loaded" proofs that offer convincing and obvious evidence
          without necessity of decompilation of object code.  (Whereas I have led
          projects in the past involving decompilation, the outcome was to show that it
          could be done, but that it was not cost effective from the standpoint of patent
          royalties won thereby.)

      The EOU reports are generated in PowerPoint according to your legal staff's format
     specifications, so legal staff can quickly prepare court-ready claim charts therefrom.
4.   I keep track of my hours in a spreadsheet and submit a net 15 invoice every two weeks.
      Invoices are in spreadsheet form citing work-products, dates and hours; according to my
      own format or according to your own preferred in house format for OTC invoices.

5.   I work within your specified constraints, such as maximum hours per week, etc.
      I'm flexible and attentive to accommodate company policies and procedures for vendors.
      My rates are competitive, and I "lock in" favorable ongoing rates for clients.

6.   I upload a secure package to a hidden place on my server (to pass it to your legal staff),
      call you with its file name and password, then upon acknowledgement of your download
      thereof, I promptly remove the package from my server.

7.   We can start by signing to establish privileged and confidential status of all work materials.

Here is my standard Consulting Agreement.
It is short and sweet, allows flexibility for us to interactively determine how I may best serve your
company, clearly defines my role as consultant (NOT legal counsel) and provides all due protection
without my sacrificing my own intellectual property.  Please don't bother asking me to sign beyond
essentially what is written therein.  Besides issued patents disclosing my own inventions, I also have
trade secrets you will never know about.  Even if you independently thought along similar lines, I'm
still not giving you my own trade secrets. However, it is highly unlikely that I am in a competing field
with you, as my primary market for my own technology is religious in nature (see freemultimediabible.org).

Why should you use me?
I'm good at it (after 14+ years in patent prosecution and enforcement, I ought to be).  I produce
results on an ongoing basis.  I spare your legal staff from investing vast amounts of their own
expensive time into research, technical analysis and gathering of evidence that is most efficiently
handled by outside technical consulting, such as myself, as my hourly rate is a fraction of your
cost for legal staffing.

What is the maximum risk / minimum investment?
The time it takes your legal staff to sign me into confidentiality, to provide me with a list of
your approved assets (patents), and then two weeks for you to receive the first product delivery
and invoicing.

Confidentiality Assured.
I am aware that confidentiality is of crucial concern with regard to using any OTC (Outside
Technical Consultant).  As you can see, I am a "black hole for information" on any specifics
pertaining to any client I have or have had.  Confidentiality is the life-breath of my business,
and I well know that my worth in the industry is predicated upon strict compliance with all
agreements, including and especially confidentiality and honoring Attorney Client Privilege.

In fact, here is a very important disclaimer:
Please note... the hypothetical flows of work processes and products described herein are
strictly exemplary, and do not necessarily reflect upon any particular business of any particular
clients I may have ever served.  This document is strictly a forward looking potential offer.
It should also be understood that, while various kinds of services may be offered herein it does
not necessarily reflect upon any kinds or flows of work products I might accomplish for you,
as I have already clearly expressed that I am responsive to attorney requests and policies, all
of which are by definition privileged and undisclosed.  Therefore please understand that,
while I can offer more information on how I can do things for you, the only information I can
give you on any client is an approximate span of time during which I served them regularly.
