Send us a text

In this inaugural episode, Dr. Ashley Sloat, President & Director of Patent Strategy​ at Aurora Consulting leads a deep dive into the on-sale bar and the trapdoor-esque implications of selling your innovation before filing. Spoiler alert: there are some very sneaky triggers – many types of activities that you might not traditionally think of as sales transactions that can trigger the bar and really jeopardize patentability.

Ashley is joined in this episode by an expert panel with over 56 years combined patenting experience:

• David Jackrel, President of Jackrel Consulting 
• David Cohen, Principal at Cohen Sciences 
• Katrin Kareht, Sr. Director of Intellectual Property at Perfect Day
