Patent of the Month

The Bichambered Convertible Headrest Cover With Padded Insert is the fourth in a family of patents by inventor Allison Bly for a product that provides comfort for weary travelers. The headrest cover can be fitted on the headrest of an airline seat to provide an improved and sterile cushion, and can also be compacted neatly into a free body pillow. This latest version can also be affixed to an extendable luggage handle to provide a makeshift padded chair and pockets for storing valuables when laying over in an airport. Time from filing to issuance: 2 years and 18 days.

The Hydrocarbon Reclamator was invented by Josh Crowl, an engineering student from the College of Western Idaho who came to us seeking patent advice on his invention for improving the power output from internal combustion engines.  His invention was so brilliant that we had to help!  Total pendency from filing to issuance was about 28 months.  The Patent Office thought it was brilliant, too (and errorless), and approved it for patenting upon initial examination.
