Dear Inventor:

In order to decide whether or not you have a "good case," a lawyer must have certain information, which I am now asking you to provide. When sending me this information, please be aware that our firm will only be evaluating your information, not representing you. You will be under NO OBLIGATION until such a decision is made for us to represent you.

In addition, in order to preserve your confidentiality, the following information should be provided by mail or fax, NOT BY EMAIL.

Here are the questions a person contacting me about a potential case needs to answer:

1) What are the number and title of your patent or copyright? Please send me copies.

2) If you have trade secrets, please describe them.

3) Who is wrongfully using your property? I need names and addresses.

4) How have you been damaged? (I.e, what royalties and/or product sales have you lost as a result of the infringement or misuse? How has your business been negatively impacted?)

5) Do you have descriptions or written materials regarding the infringement? I.e, materials that describe how you have been infringed. For instance, any product descriptions or brochures being used by the infringing company that will help to prove your case.

6) If you believe your trade secrets have been stolen, how did you protect them? What documents do you have that show that you protected your trade secrets? I.e., a contract, non-disclosure agreement or confidentiality agreement.

7) Please provide me with your contact information (i.e., name, address, phone, email, etc.)

Again, PLEASE remember that all this information should be provided by mail or fax, NOT BY EMAIL.
