Fred Grissom is a specialist at Lockheed Engineering & Science Company in support of NASA. David Pressman is a patent attorney, former patent examiner, inventor, and author of Patent It Yourself.

The best protection for an invention is adequate records. The Inventor's Notebook allows you to properly document all the essential elements of successful independent inventing. This includes conceiving, building, testing, legal protections, marketing and financing your invention.

The Notebook includes instructions, forms (with extras), references to relevant areas of patent law, and space for your notes, drawings, photographs, calculations and more. Authors Grissom and Pressman clearly explain how (and why) to use the Notebook's features. It quickly becomes a very important legal record as you use it.

The Inventor's Notebook serves as an excellent stand-alone documentation book. Plus, it dovetails neatly with Pressman's Patent It Yourself book or software. There are cross references to relevant portions of Patent It Yourself throughout the Notebook. And some of Pressman's most relevant "Inventor's Commandments" are reprinted here.

Instructions, advice, checklists, or forms are included for each main section of the book...

Pages are printed on acid-free paper for long-term archiving. Pages are numbered and show that there have been no insertions or removals. [The important pull-out forms are at the back of the book only.] There are special dating, signing, and witnessing sections on shaded entry blocks which show that entries have not been altered.

The Notebook is designed for use with a single invention, but an economy-minded inventor could obtain a single copy for the professional advice it contains and to use it as a model for his or her own comprehensive documentation system. In this way, the Notebook can be useful in the development of any number of inventions.

The Inventor's Notebook is also appropriate for...

Attorneys--to encourage good record keeping by their clients
Educators--guiding student inventors
CEO's--for sharing information between departments
Research & Development personnel, etc.
