What you need to take these lessons:

A.  Determination.

B.  Aptitude:  prove this to yourself with the mini-lesson and quiz.

C.  A good dictionary:  A real one, not on line.  Our litmus test for

     dictionaries is:   if it has the mechanical definition for the word moment,

     it's OK, if not, keep looking.  We're partial to unabridged.

D.  A copy of Black's Law Dictionary (pocket edition is OK, about $20).

      So far we've uncovered three mistakes in this book regarding patent terms;  enablement requirement [wrong], reduction to practice [incomplete], and prior art [incomplete].   These are extremely important terms.  What's up with these people?   Well straighten them out in lesson 1.  Black's Law Dictionary, Pocket Edition, Bryan A. Garner, Editor-in-Chief, 1996, West Publishing Co.

E.  An Internet connected computer*- with printer.

      * or substantial (1) access thereto (2).

                    (1)  a "friendly" "patent word",     (2)  an "obnoxious' "patent word".  In lesson 3 you'll practice using both kinds and learn

                         how to rock and roll therewith (2).

F.  A CD player.  Lesson 1 comes with an audio cd. 

F.  The price of each lesson.  Lesson 1 is available for purchase on line.
