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 3 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, or as a provisional patent application that can be filed immediately by inventors.

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.
