Abstract

We hope that reading this book has helped you to define your global Intellectual Property strategy, in particular where your invention includes the use of a computer, by helping you to understand how to optimise protection of your invention and not waste resources.

We have been at pains to note that we can offer little in the way of guaranteed success (we’ll leave that to others!), however we can tell you one unambiguous truth; if you do not file a patent application, it is incredibly unlikely that you will ever be granted a patent.
