Business method patents protect some very important things in your business.

Since the Supreme Court’s decision in 1998 to grant patents based on business methods, the Patent and Trademark Office has been inundated with applications of this type. There is currently a four-year wait for patent application approvals.

Before 1998, it was normally the assumption that a method of doing business could not be patented, and only a few property protections were in place. But in 1998, a landmark case between Signature Financial Group and State Street Bank and Trust, handed down a decision that a patent could be obtained based on a method of doing business. The dispute between these two companies involved a way to calculate concerning mutual funds, and the Supreme Court agreed that a particular method for calculating them could be patented under a business method patent.

1. He no longer practices medicine and is “semi-retired.”

There are some medical “experts” who after practicing medicine for many years hook up with expert-witness companies that lawyers use to evaluate their cases. The doctor is able to earn additional income in his golden years, without the exposure of his own medical malpractice that goes along with treating a patient inappropriately.

The lure of additional income in the retirement years is enticing. Make money from criticizing and commenting on someone else’s treatment? What could be easier?

TN a special United States immigration status applicable only to the citizens of Canada and Mexico. The TN status is a result of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) where Canadian and Mexican citizens were granted the opportunity to work in the US, although the fields were defined. Some aspects of the TN visa make it similar to the H1-B visa although the TN has some added unique features. In fact, TN status holders can work for up to a year at a time although it can be renewed indefinitely in one-year increments. The occupations defined for TN status holders are also quite a bit more limited than for the H-1B visa.
