About Protect your Ideas
John Sicotte is a registered patent attorney with fifteen years
experience in all areas of intellectual property. As an attorney he
has prosecuted and defended numerous patents in court and before
the Patent and Trademark Office. He has also help organize many
inventors and businesses in their early stages of developement. He
feels that this is one of the most gratifing aspects of his
profession. Counseling an inventor with a start-up project can be
the most challenging situation for an attorney, but it yields the
most rewards because it becomes a more personal experience for the
attorney. With his experience John can advise an inventor or a
startŠup business regarding the many pitfalls that can needlessly
to litigation. His best advise is "The most devasting event for a
flegling business is to become embroiled in a litigation, they
seldom survive." Most often the matter involves the trademark for
the business. He says that the choice of a mark is the most
critical event in that problems will arise after the company has
already expended a large part of their budget on promotion and
marketing. If the company is sued, even unjustly, the business will
fail. For a relatively small amount the company can avoid this
disaster by consulting with an attorney. Currently, John is working
with startŠups in the areas of multimedia, electronic theater,
laser communication and ophthalmic devices.
Along with his patent and trademark practice John has contacts in
the entertainment industry. He has worked with both studios and
manufacturers in the areas of character licensing and
telemarketing. He is currently developing relationships in product
placment, which is a fast growing segment of the industry.of
technology services, from concept development to patent
prosecution.
