Posted by Adam | February 04, 2016 | Patent Application

Great Foresight!

Mr Tinker helped me out a few years ago with a patent and a couple trademarks. easy, no sweat, right? I'm certain many others would have helped me with my "easy, no sweat" filing, but Mr Tinker did more than that. He called me up and explained a concern he had with some language in my filing that ...he felt didn't protect my interests as well as he felt it should. I was confident that my wording was superior and protected me from any infringements. He very politely explained how my branding had an application in an area that I had not thought of and won me over. As he stated (paraphrasing, of course), "the chances you will end up needing this additional protective language is remote, but it won't even take me ten minutes. So why don't I just do it anyway?" Well now three years later, I’ve expanded my branding and launched into the area he identified and others. Had he not cared enough to critically think about all possibilities, I would be filing expensive updates every year or so. But he took care of me and his original work stands unchanged and undefeated (I had an infringement and I won, no sweat). I came to this site to find him now to help me with another trademark, but have learned that he went in-house for a major international company. Makes sence, he is of that caliber
