Do I Require a Local Arkansas Patent Attorney?
You Require the Right Patent Attorney:
One That Concentrates On Innovators, Start-Ups, and also Small Businesses
The majority of local Patent Attorneys in Arkansas concentrate on providing services to large companies that ensure a stream of patent work every year. They are not enthusiastic about assisting individual inventors and business owners with a single invention. Therefore, individuals and smaller businesses are in most cases palmed off to an unskilled junior Patent Attorney in the Firm with incomplete training and negligible oversight.
As rarefied as Patent Attorneys are, even fewer Arkansas Patent Attorneys focus on small clients, and consequently they are virtually never found locally. That’s why Patent Law Firms with an entrepreneurial emphasis advertise nationally, because there are not nearly enough sole inventors and business owners in any one area to sustain such a particularly specialized law firm for a Patent Attorney in Arkansas.
Patent Attorneys are Licensed to Practice Nationally — You’re Not Restricted Exclusively to Arkansas Patent Attorneys
Patent Law is based on Federal Law, not State Law. Every Patent Attorney is licensed to practice nationally by passing the Patent Bar Examination offered by the United States Patent & Trademark Office. Locating a Patent Attorney in Arkansas is not necessary.

Notable Patents from Arkansas Inventors
William Baltz – Pocahontas, AR
William Baltz invented the Wonder Horse as a Christmas gift for his 3-year-old son, Billy, in December 1939. The first version suspended the horse from a wood frame using heavy springs, and he named it the “Wonder Horse” because the “Wonder State” was Arkansas’ state nickname. Soon the toy was being mass-produced and became a favorite of children all over the world.
Ben Pearson – Pine Bluff, AR
Called the “father of modern archery”, Ben Pearson designed and built much of the machinery enabling the first mass production of bows, arrows, and related archery tackle. Due to this new revolution in manufacturing, the average sports enthusiast could afford quality archery products. His company, founded in 1927, is the oldest bow company in America and still sells archery products today. “What Henry Ford did for mass producing the automobile, Ben Pearson did for mass producing archery equipment.”
Hugh Jarratt – Fayetteville, AR
Hugh Jarratt designed the Taco Plate when he got frustrated with taco shells that constantly tipped over. The slotted plastic plate is designed to hold three tacos upright along with divided compartments for side dishes. Jarratt sold nearly 500,000 plates before Wal-Mart announced a deal to order 1,000,000 taco plates for its stores.

WHAT OUR ARKANSAS CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Don’t waste your time looking for another patent attorney.
Don’t waste your time looking for another patent attorney. Every other patent attorney that I talked to was all about how much money that they could receive before the process even started. When I talked to Russ, I explained to him that I had a pregnant wife, was a compensated veteran from the war in Iraq, and I was working the best I could to support my family while attending night classes in college. I told him that I had a wonderful idea called the CORD CUFF, but I knew that I couldn’t pay the upfront money it takes to get things off the ground. Russ simply said first off, "I want to thank you for your service to our country, and congrats on the upcoming child".
He took the time to explain to me that the steps we have to take don’t have to be rushed. I could have never done this without this compassionate man. He took the time whenever I called to answer any question, and assured me that everything is under control. When money was tight, Russ would say, "Just send in a little payment here and there, but put that family first". He said, "I have you covered on this end". We started this process in 2009, and I am proud to say that my Ribbon Copy of my Patent on the CORD CUFF was sent to me by overnight delivery. I can’t say enough about him and his firm. ... Read More When the Patent Office made a mistake with the paperwork, he and his people were right on top of things to ensure that the problem was corrected with perfect results. He even paid money out of his own pocket to fix the mess. I am truly satisfied with everything Russ Weinzimmer and his firm have done to help realize my dream for me and my family.

I got my patent allowed with only ONE Office Action.
Russ spent a lot of time explaining patents and the process to me. He kept me well-informed along the way and was very helpful I got my patent allowed with only ONE Office Action. That saved me at least $6,000 based on what usually happens. Thank you Russ. This will be a real game changer for me!Gary Sinyard
ARTICLES
Critical Patent Attorney Shortage Will Make it Harder to Find One
The number of Patent Attorneys is rapidly declining, at the same time as demand for patents is rising. From 2008 to 2018, the number of new Patent Attorneys fell by 50%. From 2009 to 2015, the number of Patent Applications increased by 30% and the number of issued US Patents increased 70%.
Patent Attorneys account for more than 15% of law firm job openings while representing less than 2% of all lawyers in the U.S. As more of the already dwindling supply of Patent Attorneys are hired by big law firms and by large corporations and universities as in-house Patent Attorneys, there are fewer and fewer available to work with individual inventors and small companies.
Patent Attorneys: Why Having Business Experience Really Matters
interview with Russ Weinzimmer:
A patent is primarily a business tool – so hiring a patent lawyer with business experience can be a valuable asset. Most patents are not litigated, so the key value of a patent is its business value. It takes a lot of technical and legal skill to draft a good patent, but business insight can substantially improve the value and effectiveness of a patent.
Patent Process: Increasing Protection From The Moment You File
interview with Russ Weinzimmer:
While a patent may take several years to issue, you get increasing protection from the moment you file. The initial 18-24 month waiting period is only to start the process of the government’s examination. It takes an additional 6-12 months to get the patent issued. You don’t want to sue someone who infringes on the patent right away.
Inventors Successfully Patent and Market Invention: the Pad Soleil™ Story
Pad Soleil™ products are attractively-designed, foam-filled polyester armrest pads that prevent burning one’s arms on metal patio furniture in the hot sun.
The inventors’ first step: patent protect their invention. Russ Weinzimmer himself completed a successful Patent Application that eventually issued as a U.S. Design Patent. After that, Invention Market Analyst Joe Carlen created the Commercialization Plan and drafted a Professional Outreach Letter the inventors used to approach major retail outlets.
Now, Pad Soleil™ is being sold in Bed Bath & Beyond® stores across the country, in the Better Homes & Garden catalog, and on the Wayfair website.
