My name is Gene Quinn, and I am a Patent Attorney, Law Professor and the Founder of IPWatchdog.com, which is now owned and operated by IPWatchdog, Inc. IPWatchdog.com was originally started in 1999 and since that time it has been a resource on Intellectual Property and related topics of law for the over 2 million visitors that have come to IPWatchdog.com over the years. My particular patent specialty is in the area of business methods, software, computer and Internet applications. I am also the inventor of a patent unique system, a system called the Invent + Patent System™, which requires inventors to submit answers to a detailed invention questionnaire, with the submitted information being used to create a first draft of the application. This draft can then be used as an extraordinarily detailed invention disclosure, filed immediately as a provisional patent application, or subsequently reviewed, modified, edited and supplemented by my firm, White & Quinn, P.C., or any other firm of your choosing, and filed as a nonprovisional patent application in the United States or an English language International Application.  This system is owned by Invent + Patent, Inc., and there is a United States patent pending, and soon additional patent applications covering improvements and a more functional, interactive system will be filed.

I am also a member of the Board of Directors of the United Inventors Association, which is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with the mission of coordinating individual inventors and inventor associations for the express purpose of actively addressing their issues and challenges at both the national (USA) and global level.

I also teach patent law and drafting courses for Concord Law School, and I teach a patent bar review course for the Practicing Law Institute (PLI). I am also the lead contributing author for the PLI Patent Practice Center, and between 2003 and 2007 I wrote a monthly column for Patent World and severed on the Patent World editorial board.

I have previously taught a variety of intellectual property courses, including patent law, patent claim drafting, patent prosecution, copyright law, trademark law and introduction to intellectual property at Syracuse University College of Law, Temple University School of Law, The University of Toledo College of Law, Franklin Pierce Law Center and Whittier Law School.

I am admitted to practice law in the State of New Hampshire (USA), I am a patent attorney registered to practice before the United States Patent Office (Reg. No. 44,294) and I am also admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. My primary areas of expertise are in the areas of patent and trade secret law, patent prosecution and technology transfer. As a member of the patent bar I am licensed to practice patent law throughout the United States, and I have worked with inventors from New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Florida, Ohio, Utah, Texas, Nevada, Kansas, Oregon and California, as well as with inventors located in the United Kingdom and the UAE.

Prior to moving into the academic world I was employed at a general civil litigation firm, where I primarily engaged in representing clients involved in complex litigation. I was also a founding member and managing partner of Smith, Quinn & Associates, a small intellectual property boutique firm located in Concord, New Hampshire, and I also spent two years as Vice President and General Counsel of an independent record label.
