Here are some additional things to consider:
Look at the agendas on each of the tabs in the WorkShop Outlines for insight into which way to start. There you will find the details for each approach.One approach might be to start with one of our regularly scheduled 50 minute webinars.
If you have work underway, it may make sense to jump in with a regional workshop or on-site program.
The Regional Work Shops are being given in major cities around the country.
The schedule is updated regularly,so check the location for the city and time that works best for you.
If you are under pressure to implement an IP program, then you will want to schedule either a turnkey in-house workshop or a customized engagement. The turnkey in-house sessions are designed to get you a quick start and enable rapid deployment of an IP process.
If you have a preexisting system and want to improve it, you might consider the custom engagement where we can configure the IPbootcamp to emphasize the areas you want to improve.
All of these sessions are designed to get you self-sufficient with value added IP tasks.
Take one of these sessions to improve your IP workflow and learn how to better utilize outside legal and development resources.

If you are ignoring your most valuable business asset...
Here are more thoughts on the value proposition:
Intellecual property is a hidden asset in everything you create. Discover your hidden treasures and make them the work horse of your
business growth. Presenting IPBootCamp, an intensive training course that will enable you unleash
the power of your IP assets. at the lowest cost.
Presented as a practical translation of a technical body of knowledge using a common sense framework, IPBootCamp offers insight and
from the inventor's points of view. Gain new insight into this emerging enterprise application.
The workshop offers innovative methods you will want to incorporate into your IP capture best practices.
IP is by nature a mile wide but ten miles deep. Taking a deep dive through the 20 year profile of how the DocOA system emerged will
permit you to rapidly deploy our template into your innovations, processes, and products.
This will allow you to plan for and budget a proper and sustainable IP enterprise implementation.
The new understanding will show you better ways to hook into marketing, branding, manufacturing, and sales.
You will see clear paths for how to navigate through the maze that is comprised of your own inventors, in-house and outside counsel,
prospective customers, and most importantly, the patent office.
Many workshops on IP offer anecdotal stories on IP exploits, lessons learned, and business outcomes.
These short venues shared in breakfast meetings, in-house seminars, and consulting sales calls with their ppt check list "do and do not" summaries
provide snapshots on IP strategy, alliance formation, IP valuation for royalty determination.
They share what if considerations on litigation and litigation strategies. Many courses exist where speakers provide their
insight and case studies are used. Many times these programs dont provide the sense of a complete time line and the potholes in the lifecycle are lost.
They help to demystify the IP process, however,
they just do not go far enough to allow organizational learning, change and improved IP outcomes.
These in-depth workshops are designed to remedy many of those limitations.
What makes the IPbootcamp unique and delightfully useful is the way the mini-case method is used to teach key learning points.
When you leave this workshop you will have new tools to form a core IP program, forecast IP outcomes, and i
mplement a streamlined system that embeds and reinforces organizational IP intelligence.
With this knowledge, you will be better able to implement this enterprise application at lower risk and cost.
The fresh insights you will take away will help to lower immediate IP portfolio costs.
For example, in one instance, the use of the IP Bootcamp model allwed a savings of $250k in license fees for an inlicensed product.
The expansion of that company's own intellectual property, which had freedom to operate permitted the company to be
merged in a $10m exit.
Take key and useful new ideas from our experience and plan a system and seamlessly employs technology in the form of
software tools when and where needed. However, first develop enough confidence to know your internal processes and set forth
key value added tasking. This will help you to avoid bringing in outside services too early in the process.
Learn about the tradeoff in outsourcing low cost application preparation and filings that could leave you exposed to
expensive office actions and costly additional filing charges and fees.
Find out the benefit of avoiding unwanted disclosures and how this can leverage licensing and alliance formation.
Learn how to write claims that meet patent office standards and help to avoid costly litigation downstream.
Define an improved IP program that helps you to uncover and evaluate your portfolio of IP assets and forecast IP outcomes.
This is a proven way to increase the value of your business, whether for raising money,
enabling efficient and effective IP due diligence, or for establishing power commercialization
plans that provide alternative revenue streams from royalty based alliances. The example above is just one of many
such outcomes that are enabled by the steps we provide here to unlock the hidden treasures of your IP portfolio.

HOW YOU WILL LEARN
The IP bootcamp will employ a combination of direct exercises, interactive participation,
effective streamlined media for conveying key points, reusable templates for conveying various portions of the framework,
mini-case studies to exemplify key take aways, and good old fashion question and answer.
David will teach you how a simple set of tasks comprising a 14 day process can be executed over a 2 to 3 month period to
get real patent applications out of the pipeline.
You will learn how to employ this multi-step process using proven techniques, templates, and check lists each step of the way to
ensure a repeatable and sustaninable process.
David will set forth criteria and employ templates that are intuitive and designed to yield a pre-provisional patent application
that meets full utility patent requirements. You will find out how to secure a patent application
that can be filed and examined on its merits with a higher likelihood of allowance at the lowest possible cost in outside legal fees.
You can employ this method to support any patent application opportunity in any field of use
that you encounter in your business. As your business grows, a well defined and executed
IP business process will allow you to employ technology in the form of on-demand software applications to
further lower your cost of doing business in this application.
