“My newest book is Confederate Invention: The Story of the Confederate States Patent Office and Its Inventors, the result of over 10 years of research into Southern inventions patented in the Confederate States during the American Civil War. This book is now available from LSU Press.”

“Early in my career, I found little practical guidance in the literature on patent strategy and intellectual property. Most of the books concerned the infinite details of patent law and were either too simplistic or dealt with issues most inventors never encountered. I resolved to share what I knew, and the result was Patent Strategy for Researchers and Research Managers. Industry reaction was so overwhelmingly positive that I was soon encouraged to set about producing an expanded and revised second edition. Now, Patent Strategy has become a respected guide used by inventors and managers of all types worldwide.”
