TODAY, I received a certified copy of the very first patent I drafted after starting my own firm almost three years ago!
This copy will go the the client of course. I may have to order one for myself.
And as I was depositing some checks at the bank - I saw the date and started to wonder why it sounded familiar. I am really bad about remembering dates - always have to write everything down in my calendar. I always remember that my D was granted some time in June... So I pulled out the old D decree. My D was granted exactly 5 years ago today.
How unusual - my very first patent and my D share a date.
I will be getting the front page of that patent framed and hang it in my office. I have drafted over a 100 patent applications during the course of my career. This one - well is special.
So the question is "Am I better off today than I was 5 years ago?"
Absolutely without a doubt - YES!
I will be going out with a GF to celebrate the issuance of The First Patent!
