Thorough, crisp and highly readable, this guide to the US patent system provides a very modern view of an always-changing system. As a European patent attorney, this is going to be my first pick from the shelf when I need to check out practical or contemporary issues in the US. If I was still training, it would be my bible. -- Gwilym Roberts, Kilburn & Strode LLP, London, UK The guide is beneficial for new practitioners and US law school patent clinic students. -- Darrell G. Mottley, Suffolk University Law School, USA The US Patent System by Michael A. Sanzo contains not only a detailed explanation of the US patent system, but also practical recommendations on how to safely steer through the sometimes jungle-like system on the journey to creating and maintaining valid patents! In view of the rapid development of technology worldwide, the sections on using AI for inventing and patenting will become the basis for discussions on streamlining drafting, prosecution, litigation and licensing practices. -- Heinz Goddar, Boehmert & Boehmert, Germany
