This page, and the following links, are written for patent professionals. They do NOT constitute legal advice, and NOBODY should rely on any statements here.  Different cases have different constraints and goals, and the ideas set forth below do not purport to set forth any general guidelines nor standard of practice.

Many of the ideas here are commonplace, but some are not common at all.  Some of the ideas here are applicable to most patent cases, but some are applicable only to "star" cases where cost is not a concern, or to very limited types of cases.  Some of these ideas would be agreed with by most experienced U.S. patent attorneys, but many would not.
