One of my Chicago based patent clients recently referred me to Inc.com as a good online resource for patent and intellectual property information for inventors. For example, they provide an article explaining a step-by-step process for turning a good idea for a new invention into a financial success. Similarly, they provide an article detailing a step-by-step guide describes the legal process of filing for a patent. In addition to patent specific articles, there are more generally based intellectual property articles, such as this article regarding advice for the small-business owner on protecting trademarks, writing nondisclosure agreements, and other tools for protecting intellectual property.
I hope that you find these patent and intellectual property resources useful. If you run across patent related resources or other resources worth sharing with inventors, entrepreneurs and business owners, please bring them to my attention by contacting me.
