Good US-oriented piece underlining how important it is for entrepreneurs to build real client/patent attorney working partnerships. As the piece suggests, filing Provisional Patent Applications is a good thing. Care is, of course, needed to ensure they confer their filing date on subject-matter claimed in the entrepreneur’s follow-on patent applications in other jurisdictions. Where that important-to-crucial goal isn’t achieved, novelty for those follow-on applications would be judged as of a later date.
