Learn how to write and submit your own patent application on your invention. This video course is taught by Andrew Knight, J.D., Registered Patent Agent, graduate of MIT and Georgetown Law, university instructor, and owner and inventor of 13 issued U.S. patents and 15 pending patent applications. Do-It-Yourself Patent Course will teach you how to write your own high-quality provisional and nonprovisional patent applications without the need for a patent attorney or any other resource.

Our FREE Do-It-Yourself Provisional Patent will teach you how to write your own provisional patent application, and can be downloaded free to all inventors from our website.

Would you like to be able to consult with an inventor who has "been there"? Do you believe it would be nice to be able to benefit from another inventor's experiences, which could help you avoid some of the pitfalls and possibly help you find superior methods and avenues for presenting your invention to industry?

While Jim Lowrance cannot guarantee success to an inventor, he can offer his best possible advice through e-mail consultation. (Jim's invention: The "Rod Floater" shown above, in Bass Pro since 1992)

I have invented and sold to major mass merchants 3 product lines of over 150 products and have produced a CD to explain how you can do it too - even if you don't have a lot of money. I didn't have any money when I started. My CD is totally free if you are in the US. If not, you can still download a transcript and/or the MP3 files.
