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.

WHAT OUR NH CLIENTS ARE SAYING
-
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

Since I became Patent Pending, I have received over 300 inquiries about purchasing my product. I wish I had found you before ever contacting InventHelp.
I want to thank you for the work that you and Lori have done getting the patent process going. This is very exciting for me, and I have high hopes. Since Lori emailed me saying it was filed, and that I became Patent Pending, I have made announcements about my product to the proper community with a picture of my product in my truck. Since then, I have received over 300 inquiries about purchasing my product. I now have my hands full in a good way. So I wanted to thank you and Lori for your work, as I am very pleased with the quality of the work I have received from you. I wish I had found you before ever contacting InventHelp.

The Cheri Hill Show Radio Interview: Trademarks
The Cheri Hill Show invited expert Russ Weinzimmer to discuss trademarks and how they can help your business. A trademark is one of the most important business assets that a company will ever own, because it identifies and distinguishes the company and its products or services in the marketplace from its competitors. Therefore, it is good practice for all business owners to take sufficient action to protect and enforce valuable trademarks.
