The Innovative Dentist: How to Protect Your Unique Dental Processes

How do you know if your idea is worth protecting? And if so, how do you patent it?

Many dentists find themselves asking these questions but finding no answers. Patenting our unique ideas and dental processes can seem like a difficult or often even impossible task.

And yet, today, I am here to tell you that you can patent your work.

All you need is the right information, which is why I invited this week’s guest on the podcast, the amazing Professor John Rizvi.

John is a board-certified patent attorney, adjunct professor of law, and recognized speaker in the field of intellectual property. He has over twenty five years of experience in patent and trademark law and was among the first group of attorneys ever to be board-certified as an expert in this field. 

Today, John is here to discuss patenting in the dental industry, how to know if your idea is patentable, the cost involved in patenting, and more.

Are you ready?

Let’s dive in.
