In this conversation, Jeff Harty speaks with Damian Porcari, regional director of the Elijah J. McCoy Midwest Regional United States Patent and Trademark Office. Damian explains how the regional offices work and tells us about the many resources available to aspiring inventors and business owners.

In this episode, Jeff Harty and Damian Porcari discuss:

  • Damian’s background in chemistry and his professional career, both of which helped form his views on intellectual property.
  • Measuring impact qualitatively.
  • Virtual hiring, training, and practice with the regional USPTO.
  • USPTO resources for aspiring inventors and business owners.

Key Takeaways:

  • Working at the USPTO has allowed Damian to work with smaller businesses that succeed and can compete with international conglomerates.
  • Counting things for the sake of counting things is not a true reflection of the impact of anything.
  • Attorneys and judges are assigned to cases based on their own technical backgrounds, even if they are in different regions.
  • Integrate the IP needs assessment into your business plan. Reassess it every year; your needs will grow and change as your business grows and changes.

“The people that utilize the needs assessment, that actually go and answer all 60 questions thoughtfully, and then bring it to their advisers, whether they’re lawyers or investors or partners, can essentially integrate those questions into their business plans.” —Damian Porcari
