Consulting
“At the IEEE Consultants' Network of Silicon Valley Peter has led a couple of new initiatives: a new procedure for welcoming new members and the creation of special interest groups. His approach is creative and he works with energy and enthusiasm. His leadership has attracted younger members to help drive these concepts forward, and he has proven adaptable as problems arise. Peter is easy to work with and he makes things happen.”

Inventing Services
We can work with you to brainstorm new ideas and products. Confidentiality agreements can protect the intellectual property on both sides. We can help you write patent applications, while you retain ownership. In short, we can provide an extension of your creative capabilities, applied when needed. Since Peter Salmon will be the only individual having access to your proprietary concepts, the risk of exposing your ideas can be well controlled.
Patenting Services
Peter Salmon can help your company identify patentable concepts, and assist you in generating patents at low cost. He can do this because he has developed an effective process for generating his own patents, using limited personal funds. While not formally trained as a patent agent and not qualified to offer legal advice, Peter was fortunate to learn about patent writing from the late Aldo J. Test, an icon of the industry who was known by many as "the best patent attorney in Silicon Valley".
Prototypes
We are well-connected to fabricators, test shops, and reliability houses in Silicon Valley. We can create prototypes quickly and efficiently, especially including advanced packaging assemblies and electro-mechanical devices. We can coordinate assembly, testing, characterization and qualification work through our network of local service companies.
