The Innovative Dentist: How to Protect Your Unique Dental Processes

How do you know if your idea is worth protecting? And if so, how do you patent it? Many dentists find themselves asking these questions but finding no answers. Patenting our unique ideas and dental processes can seem like a difficult or often even impossible task. And yet, today, I am here to tell you that you can patent your work.

John is a board-certified patent attorney, adjunct professor of law, and recognized speaker in the field of intellectual property.
