As a software engineer, I have to come up with innovative ways to solve problems in the code that I write. Sometimes that creativity leads to patent applications. One of the perks of my job is that my employer gives us a monetary award for each idea that is deemed worthy of a patent application by the legal team. In the last month I’ve had two such ideas marked as requiring a patent application, which will result in a nice bump in funds in an upcoming paycheck. Within the personal finance circles there’s a lot of talk about unexpected expenses and having an emergency fund in place to handle them. It’s nice to an unexpected income for once!
Oh yeah, I suppose you’re looking for some links. I aim to please, so let’s get to it.
