Do I Require a Local New Hampshire Patent Attorney?
You Need the Right Patent Attorney:
One That Concentrates On Inventors, Start-Ups, and Small Companies
Many local Patent Attorneys in New Hampshire prioritize providing services to bigger businesses that offer a stream of patent work year after year. They are not thrilled about representing individual innovators and business owners with only one invention. Thus, individuals and smaller companies are generally palmed off to an inexperienced junior Patent Attorney in the Firm with inadequate training and marginal oversight.
As scarce as Patent Attorneys are, even fewer New Hampshire Patent Attorneys prioritize small clients, and for that reason they are practically never found locally.

Notable Patents from New Hampshire Inventors
Segway
Dean Kamen – Bedford, NH
Dean Kamen founded DEKA Research and Development in Manchester, New Hampshire, and FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), whose STEM education efforts have impacted over one million students nationally. Kamen is often referred to as the modern Thomas Edison due to the breadth and scope of his trailblazing inventions. He holds more than 440 U.S. patents, including for medical devices such as the AutoSyringe. In 1999, Kamen introduced the IBOT, a device similar to a wheelchair that could climb stairs and stand upright on two wheels. His use of gyroscopic stabilizers on the IBOT led him to develop his most famous invention: the Segway.
Snowmobile
Virgil D. White – West Ossipee, NH
In 1913, Virgil D. White, a Ford dealer in West Ossipee, NH, invented a snowmobile conversion kit that replaced the Model T’s front wheels with wooden skis and added caterpillar tracks with metal cleats to the rear. He coined and copyrighted the term “snowmobile” and patented his snowmobile kit. In 1919, he founded the Snowmobile Company to build and sell Model T Snowmobiles and conversion kits. The company sold over 25,000 units nationwide before closing in 1929. White’s snowmobile invention is considered by many snowmobile enthusiasts to be the first true snowmobile.
Latex Gloves
Neil Tillotson – Dicksville Notch, NH
After working manufacturing products from natural rubber, Neil Tillotson invented the first novelty shaped toy balloon, the Cat Balloon, in 1931. Despite the Depression, his company, Tillotson Rubber, produced five million cat-faced balloons by year-end. The company later developed the first high-speed latex dipping machine, enabling Tillotson’s invention of the one-size-fits-all disposable latex medical glove in the 1960s. At 93, he patented the N-DEX, the first nitrile examination glove. In 1954, he returned to his ancestral land in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, where he revitalized the landmark Balsams Grand Resort Hotel. A staunch patriot, Tillotson cast the first vote in U.S. presidential elections for four decades until his death in 2001 at 102.
Rapid Rule Tape Measure
Hiram Augustus Farrand Jr. – Berlin, NH
Hiram A. Farrand, while working at the Brown Company in Berlin, NH, invented “The Farrand Rapid Rule,” a precursor to the modern tape measure. In 1927, he established his own factory in Berlin, generating $100,000 in its first year and over $1 million within five years. However, the Depression in the early 1930s forced Farrand to sell his invention to Stanley Works for $50,000. Farrand’s concave-convex tape design has become the standard for most pocket tape measures today, and the Stanley Tape Rule continues to generate millions annually.

Patent Model Museum in Center Sandwich, NH (1949-52) and Plymouth, NH (1952-70’s)
The original 1790 Patent Board required miniature working models to be submitted with patent applications until 1870 when the requirement became optional due to storage concerns. By 1880, the requirement was dropped, except for flying machines until 1903, and now only perpetual machines require working models. Over 200,000 patent models were received by 1880, leading Congress to decide to sell them due to storage expenses. In 1908, 3,000 models were sold, and in 1925, all remaining models were sold after selection by the Smithsonian and other museums. After passing through several companies, the collection of approximately 200,000 patent models was purchased by auctioneer O. Rundle Gilbert in 1943. Gilbert opened a patent model museum in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire in 1949, which featured approximately 1,000 of the most interesting models and charged $1.00 admission. The museum was later moved to Plymouth, NH in 1952 and eventually closed in the 1970s.

The big lesson for me was (after two patents done elsewhere): DO NOT begin any patent process without an expert Patent Attorney.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Russ. I came to him with a difficult stressful situation with an ongoing patent from another firm. Russ was quick to respond, jumped right in, and did a superb job sizing up the work and cleaning it all up. He took the time to explain important things to me, and to have detailed conversations that just basically made the process super smooth in so many ways. I would easily have found myself with continuing financial headaches if I had not gone to Russ. The big lesson for me was (after two patents done elsewhere): DO NOT begin any patent process without an expert Patent Attorney who can be there for you through the various challenges that come with this kind of endeavor. I am confident in saying "speak to Russ first and let him show you the best way to go down the Patent Road, minus the potholes." HUGE thumbs up!Scott Naidus

InventHelp Sued in Multiple Class Action Lawsuits
Multiple class action lawsuits assert that InventHelp took millions of dollars from inventors, who got virtually nothing in return. According to the lawsuits, InventHelp has no meaningful interest in helping aspiring inventors develop and monetize their inventions. Instead, their business model is based upon receipt of Submission Service fees, and nothing more.
The lawsuits each allege a similar pattern of operation:
- Slick ads target naive inventors.
- Reputation Management company erases bad reviews.
- Incomplete Patent Searches and Boilerplate Patentability Opinions lure inventors into Submission Services Agreements.
- Inventors pay $5K– $10K for Submission Services which are not provided.
- Proprietary Data Bank filled with fake companies and inaccurate industry matches.
- No infrastructure to deal with companies interested in buying or licensing inventions.
- After months or years of silence, reappear in the guise of manufacturing companies asking for MORE more money.
Should I File a Provisional Patent Application?
Filing a provisional patent application is almost always a bad idea. Preserving your exclusive rights to your invention through a patent depends on meeting specific deadlines when filing a patent application. Relying on the filing date of a provisional can mean that you end up completely losing all of your patent rights. A provisional can also reduce the value of your issued patent and can make it harder to license or sell your invention to other companies.
Class Action Lawsuit Claims InventHelp is a Scam
A Pennsylvania class action lawsuit claims InventHelp is a scam, preying upon low income people, and either does nothing or delivers subpar work.
According to the lawsuit, the InventHelp scam goes like this: At the initial visit, inventors are told their invention is original and potentially highly profitable, even when similar products already exist. Then InventHelp charges thousands of dollars to commercialize their invention, offering a high-interest loan if they can’t afford those steep fees. Once the money is in hand, InventHelp disappears and dodges calls for months or years. Eventually they resurface, claiming a company is now interested in their invention. After charging thousands more for licensing or manufacturing deals, InventHelp once again disappears.
Did Video Rental Stores Pay Licensing Fees?
Remember the days of going to your local video store and picking out movies to rent that weekend? Remember getting that red Netflix envelope in the mail?
It might surprise you to know that video rental companies did not have to pay for the rights to rent those movies. They simply bought the same videotapes and DVDs that the general public could buy, and then used the “First Sale Doctrine” from Copyright Law to rent them out. Anyone could buy a bunch of movies and open a video rental store, and those mom & pop shops flourished before big chains put them out of business.
