A vision for intellectual property examination – 2030

It works, it works, it works. After all this time dreaming, all the experimentation, all the trouble getting the GPS system to work through the human body, all the government safety testing, all the tattoo tracing, all the style development for different watch faces, all the focus group market tests, all the other hurdles-it's all coming together. And I, and my company, are going to be rich, rich, rich. Oh yes, and we're advancing science and the industrial arts too- how sweet. Rich!
If only I can get the intellectual property stuff settled. But I have a good attorney, and he seems really proficient at working the system. I knew it wouldn't be easy, as the Tattoo Watch crossed a lot of technical grounds- the electronics that my Japanese friend got done; - the biological connections that the California company did for me; - that GPS time zone feature, which the Swiss were so clever at performing. All were cutting edge technologies, and cost a bundle to develop. Thank Goodness the attorney is experienced, because the big companies are going to be all over this. I'm going to need worldwide protection for all that we've developed, and I'm going to need it soon. If I can hit the market in time for Christmas, that means I'll need my patents and design patents in 10 months, the trademarks about the same time, and I'd like to see if copyright protection is needed for those watch faces and alarm songs.
After dealing worldwide through the new Internet it seemed right and natural that the examination was being done throughout the world- "local" has taken on a planetary meaning nowadays. But it seemed odd having my attorney, that I'm paying for, working with a intellectual property office customer rep. That's one of those new procedures they're always putting in place. Nice old fellow that intellectual property representative. Of course, I'm paying for him too, I guess, in a way. Still I got it all ordered in one sitting- selecting which intellectual property offices would be doing the examinations and registrations, which countries I would be getting protection for, what kind of protection, and Goodness, we even got to choose the examiners (That French American is supposed to be really hot stuff- glad we got him.).
Just yesterday we downloaded the development history files from my company computers to the attorney's computer system. I understand there is a direct link to the Trilateral System from his office- push of a button, and whoosh, out goes the day's work from attorney to government, from private to public, from just an idea to a protected, or soon to be protected, technology.
I don't understand all the legalistics, but then, I don't have to. I do understand the invention, however. It took a decade of my life to put together, all of my money and my friends' moneys. This is a serious effort, and it deserves the best shot. I'm glad the patent office, I mean the intellectual property office, I mean all those intellectual property offices are up to it.
