My First US Patent…………
Two remarkable things happened in 1995 – maiden patent
finalization and selection for MBA.
Ours was supposedly first international patent from
organization. Though draft was finalised, but couldn‟t file
th
patent as joined MBA program on 5 October.
Politics preceded hard work and my patent was holdback to
crown one of the favorites. Their patent was filed before ours.
Joining back, I could file patent in October 1996.
However, our collective hard work won, USA patent granted in
Dec, 1997; chums patent took nearly four years.
Read somewhere that “Luck marches with those who give
their very best”……..indeed my team did the best
