SUMMARY INFORMATION
This summary provides an overview of selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. It does not contain all the information you should consider before making a decision to purchase the shares we are offering. You should very carefully and thoroughly read the more detailed information in this prospectus and review our financial statements contained herein.
Summary Information about Patents Professional, Inc.
Patents Professional, Inc. (“Patents Professional, “we”, “the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit Company on December 17, 2008 and established a fiscal year end of December 31. We are a development-stage Company formed in order to enter into the international market for patent consulting and technology transfer services.
The Company business model is to assist small business and entrepreneurs that have developed patentable novel products or services but does not have the financial resources to fund their own patent application. The Company will take an equity position in the product and pay for the patent application on behalf of the inventor. The patents will be applied listing both the inventor and the Company as co-patent holders. The estimated cost of a US patent application is between $20,000 and $30,000 US. The Company does not intend to market any of the products it accepts for patent application, once a patent pending has been issued it is the company’s intent to sell the patent application to an individual or Company who already operates within the same industry. The Company will negotiate with each inventor on the Company’s equity share but the Company’s standard offer will be 50% ownership in the invention. The Company will use the Internet to markets services as well and attend some tradeshows that specific to inventors and entrepreneurs such as INPEX the largest such trade show in the United States.
As of June 30, 2010, the end of the most recent fiscal quarter, Patents Professional had raised $9,500 through the sale of its common stock. There was $449 of cash on hand in the corporate bank account. The Company had liabilities of $21,981, represented by the remaining founder’s shares subscription receivable. In addition, the Company estimates incurring costs associated with this offering totaling approximately $7,000. As of the filing of this prospectus the Company has generated no revenues and has limited business operations.
Our business office is located at 112 North Curry Street, Carson City, Nevada, 89703, our telephone number is 775 321-8206 and our fax number is 775 562-4736.

RISK FACTORS
Please consider the following risk factors and other information in this prospectus relating to our business and prospects before deciding to invest in our common stock.
This offering and any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this prospectus before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The Company considers the following to be themost significantmaterial risks to an investor regarding this offering. Patents Professional should be viewed as a high-risk investment and speculative in nature. An investment in our common stock may result in a complete loss of the invested amount. Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock.
(1) THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT PATENT PROS’SABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
Our auditor’s report on our December 31, 2009 financial statements expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. Since our sole officer and director may be unwilling or unable to loan or advance us additional capital, we believe that if we do not raise at least $30,000 from our offering we may be unable to implement or complete our planned patent development and acquisition programs and may be required to suspend or cease business operations within 12 months of the effective date of this prospectus. Since there is no minimum or refunds on sold shares, you may be investing in a company that will not have the funds necessary to continue to deploy its business strategies. Further, if we cannot raise additional capital within 12 months of the effective date of this registration statement, we may be required to suspend or cease the
8
implementation of our business plans. See “December 31, 2009 Audited Financial Statements - Auditors Report.”
Patents Professional has incurred an accumulative net loss of ($31,032) for the period from inception to June 30, 2010 and to date we have had no revenue. Our ability to maintain our corporate existence and business operations is entirely dependent upon the success of this offering and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future is based upon our ability to achieve profitable operations. We plan to seek additional funds through private placements of our common stock and/or through debt financing. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence.
As the company has been issued an opinion by its auditors that substantial doubt exists as to whether the company can continue as a going concern, it may be more difficult for the company to attract investors.
The Company currently requires approximately $2,000 dollars per quarter to pursue its goal of being listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board Market. The Company over the next 12 months to begin implementing its business plan will require a minimum of $7,500 per quarter. These minimal funds will allow the company to visit some trade shows, print some marketing material, and develop a web presence.
Risks Related To Our Financial Condition
(2) IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDEQUATE FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL, WHICH WILL RESULT IN
THE COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
Our business plans call for significant expenses in connection with the acquisition of our product line, the source and implementation of our planned e-commerce sales systems and marketing program. As of June 30, 2010, we had cash in the amount of $449. Our current operating funds are not adequate for corporate existence over the next twelve months and they will not cover the costs of identifying and qualifying clients and developing and filling their patent applications. As we currently do not have any operations and since our inception we have generated no income, our ability to initiate or complete our proposed plan of operations is dependent on the success of this public offering. Further, our ability to find royalty paying customers to purchase any patents that we may successfully acquire the rights to over the period of time covered by this prospectus is entirely dependent upon our success in obtaining additional financing in the future.
Further, there will be no revenue once our initial patent development and acquisition programs are complete. There will be an opportunity for revenue only if we are acquiring an interest in the patents to commercially desirable inventions.
Currently, management cannot provide investors with an accurate estimate of the additional proceeds required to achieve profitable sales of the patents that we plan to develop during the period of time covered by this prospectus. Investors should be aware even if our patent development and acquisition programs are successful, it may be cost prohibitive to manufacture or market the products or inventions covered by our patents, which would result in the total loss of any investment made in the company.
We currently do not have any arrangements for additional financing and can provide investors no assurance that we will be able to obtain future financing when required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market demand and prices for household appliances, customer and investor acceptance of the products covered by our future patents and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us. See "Description of Business."

(3) SINCE WE ANTICIPATE THAT OUR OPERATING EXPENSES WILL INCREASE PRIOR TO EARNING ANY REVENUE, WE MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY.
The company anticipates increases in its operating expenses without realizing any revenues from its operations. Within the next 12 months, these increases in expenses will include the costs of (i) hiring a third party patent consultant to develop all aspects pertaining to the trade show attendance estimated to cost $39,000 (it includes $12,000 at filing patent applications and commission sales staff and $27,000 to identify and enter licensing agreements with institutional customers) (ii) hiring an independent consultant to develop our web site (estimated to cost $8,000), (iii) hiring a commission sales group to begin the sales and marketing of our technology licenses (at a total estimated cost $35,000), (iv) marketing expenses (estimated at $10,000), (v) paying for legal expenses and costs associated with being public (estimated at $5,000), (vi) legal proceeds expenses (estimated to cost $10,000), (vii) administrative expenses (estimated at $6,000) and (viii) offering expenses (estimated at $7,000). As the development of our planned portfolio of patents will not generate any revenue, it is anticipated that over the next 12 months the company’s only form of revenue will be from the sale of the securities registered herein.
Identifying and qualifying our first clients, negotiating royalty sharing agreements with them and developing and filing their patent applications will incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that the company will prove successful. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that our services will compete successfully with established patent consulting or law firms for clients, generate any operating revenue or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unable to address these risks, there is a high probability that our business will fail, which will result in the loss of your entire investment.
Even if our acquisition program is successful in developing and acquiring the rights to a portfolio of patents covering commercially desirable products, the company may not be able to successfully market its patents and may not be able to generate any revenue. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future and may never achieve profitability.
We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the sale of the rights to our planned patents, we will not be able to continue operations. We cannot provide any assurance that the inventions and products covered by our planned portfolio of patents will be competitive with other products or products similar that may enter the market in the future. Thus, we may never receive enough revenue to make our business profitable. If we are unable to address these risks, there is a high probability that our business will fail, which will result in the loss of your entire investment.
Risks Related To Our Business Model
(4) SINCE WE HAVE NOT COMMENCED BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND LACK AN OPERATING HISTORY, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
Patents Professional is a development stage company and has not begun to source our planned product line. We were incorporated on December 17, 2008 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and market research. Thus we have no operating history upon which to evaluate the likelihood that we will be able to operate the business successfully.
As of the date of this prospectus we have not earned any revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in generating revenue in the future or in raising sufficient funds through the sale of shares to pay for our expenses. Failure to generate revenue or raise sufficient funds will cause us to go out of business, which will result in the complete loss of your investment.
(5) THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN IMPLEMENTING ITS BUSINESS STRATEGY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF AN INVESTOR’S ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
10
Although the company intends to pursue a strategy of aggressively marketing its products, implementation of this strategy will depend in large part on its ability to (i) identify and qualify a base of inventors with patentable, commercially viable inventions or products, (ii) establish a significant customer base among product manufacturers and maintain favorable relationships with those customers, (iii) obtain adequate financing on favorable terms to fund its business, (iv) maintain appropriate procedures, policies, and systems, (v) retain skilled patent consultants and (vi) continue to operate in the patent consulting industry within an environment of increasing competition. The inability of the company to obtain or maintain any or all of these factors could impair its ability to implement its business strategy successfully, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
(6) SINCE OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR HAS NO DIRECT EXPERIENCE EITHER IN THE PATENT CONSULTING OR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER INDUSTRIES AND LACKS FORMAL TRAINING SPECIFIC TO OPERATING A BUSINESS IN EITHR INDUSTRY, WE MAY BE UNSUCCESSFUL IN IMPLEMENTING OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY.
Our management has no direct experience in the drafting, filing, defense or prosecution of patent applications or the licensing of technology. He has not operated a patent consulting or technology transfer business before and lacks formal training in these areas. As a result, our management may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements on operating a patent consulting and technology transfer business. Management’s decisions and choices may not account for the strategies which are commonly deployed by patent consulting and technology transfer firms.Our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management’s lack of experience in these areas. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease operations, which will result in the loss of your investment.
(7) SINCE OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR CURRENTLY PROVIDES HIS SERVICES ON A PART-TIME BASIS, OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL IF HE IS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
Mr. Yomoguita, our sole officer and director, has other outside business activities. Since we are in the early stages of our business, Mr. Yomoguita devotes only approximately 5-7 hours per week to managing our affairs. However, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are not convenient to Mr. Yomoguita, which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of our business plan.
Mr. Yomoguita believes that we will have sufficient staff, consultants, employees, agents, contractors, and managers to adequately conduct the company’s business. If the demands of the company’s business require the full business time of our sole officer and director, he is prepared to adjust his timetable to devote more time to the company’s business. However, he may be unable to devote sufficient time to the management of the company’s business, which could result in periodic interruptions in the implementation of the company’s plans. Such delays could have a significant negative effect on the success of our business.
(8) OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR IS CURRENTLY A NON-RESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THEREFORE IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR SHAREHOLDERS TO ENFORCE ANY JUDGMENTS AGAINT HIM IN THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. Yomoguita, our sole officer and director, is currently living in Brazil and has other outside business activities in this country. Since we are in the early stages of our business, Mr. Yomoguita devotes only approximately 5-7 hours per week to managing our affairs.
In the event that any shareholder action was launched including a suit or judgment or other legal matters there is no assurance that Mr. Yomoguita will be able to appear within the jurisdiction. Additionally it may be difficult to enforce any judgments against him if he is residing in Brazil.
The company will be entering into agreements with companies and individuals to file patents and their behalf and receive equity in the invention, these agreements and equity will comprise of the majority assets of the company and will be located in the United States.
11
(9) THE COMPANY IS DEPENDANT UPON THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS TO PERFORM CERTAIN OF ITS ESSENTIAL SERVICES.
The company will rely upon third party independent consultants and contractors to perform certain critical tasks pertaining to the development of our planned clients’ patent applications. These include the original drafting, translation, filing, prosecution, administrative re-examination and review, court proceedings, advocacy, opinion work and prior art searches. Our failure to find and retain qualified consultants to develop and maintain our computer systems could result in interruptions in our operations and loss of royalty revenue.
One or more of such factors could have a material adverse effect on the company’s potential future operations and, consequently, on the company’sbusiness, operating results and financial condition. Further, such third party contractors have no fiduciary duty to our shareholders and may not perform these services as expected. The capacity of certain third parties for these services may be limited for economic or other reasons. Their inability to provide these services could have a material adverse effect upon the results of our operations and financial condition.
One or more of such factors could have a material adverse effect on the company’s potential future operations and, consequently, on the company’sbusiness, operating results and financial condition.
(10) THE COMPANY’S INABILITY TO IDENTIFY QUALIFIED CLIENTS MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
Our prospects depend upon our being able to identify inventors with viable products that are willing to sign royalty sharing agreements with us in exchange for financing and filing their patent applications. If we are unable to find such qualified clients, we will go out of business and investors will lose the entire amount of their investment in the company.
(11) OUR SUCCESS WILL DEPEND UPON OUR ABILITY TO ATTAIN AND MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH INVENTORS TO GAIN ACCESS TO NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND INVENTIONS. IF WE FAIL TO ATAIN AND MAINTAIN SUCH RELATIONSHIPS OR TO DEVELOP NEW RELATIONSHIPS, WE MAY REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TECHNOLOGIES AND INVENTIONS AVAILABLE TO GENERATE REVENUES.
We do not plan to invent any new technologies and products ourselves. We will depend upon relationships developed with universities, corporations, governmental agencies, research institutions, inventors, and others to provide us technology-based opportunities that we can develop into profitable royalty-bearing licenses. Our failure to maintain our relationships with such clients or to develop new relationships could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. If we are unable to forge relationships or to maintain our new relationships, we may be unable to identify new technology-based opportunities.
Further, we cannot be certain that our new relationships will provide the volume or quality of available new technologies necessary to sustain our business. In some cases, universities and other sources of new technologies seek to develop and commercialize these technologies themselves or through entities they develop, finance and/or control. In other cases, universities receive financing for basic research from companies in exchange for the exclusive right to commercialize resulting inventions. These and other strategies may reduce the number of technology sources (potential clients) to whom we can market our services. If we are unable to secure new sources of technology, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
(12) WE WILL RECEIVE MOST OF OUR REVENUES FROM LICENSEES OVER WHOM WE HAVE NO CONTROL.
We will rely upon royalties received from our planned licensees for revenues. The royalties we will receive from our licensees depend on their efforts and expenditures and we will have no control over their efforts or expenditures. Additionally, our future licensees' development of new products involves great risk since many new technologies do not become commercially profitable products despite extensive development efforts. Our planned license agreements will not require licensees to advise us of problems that they may encounter in attempting to
12
develop commercial products, and licensees usually treat such information as confidential. You should expect that our future licensees will encounter problems frequently. Our future licensees' failure to resolve such problems may result in a material adverse effect on our operating results.
(13) WE WILL DEPEND UPON OUR FUTURE LICENSEES RECEIVING GOVERNMENT APPROVALS TO EXPLOIT CERTAIN LICENSED PRODUCTS COMMERCIALLY.
Commercial exploitation of some of our planned licensed patents may require the approval of governmental regulatory agencies and there is no assurance that those agencies will grant such approvals. In the United States, the principal governmental agency involved is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA's approval process is rigorous, time consuming and costly. Unless and until a licensee obtains approval for a product requiring such approval, the licensee may not sell the product in the U.S.A. and therefore, we will not receive royalty income based on U.S. sales of the product.
(14) IF OUR FUTURE CLIENTS AND WE ARE UNABLE TO PROTECT THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY UNDERLYING OUR PLANNED LICENSES OR TO ENFORCE OUR PLANNED PATENTS ADEQUATELY, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO EXPLOIT SUCH LICENSED PATENTS OR TECHNOLOGY SUCCESSFULLY.
Our success in earning revenues from our planned patent applications is subject to the risk that issued patents may be declared invalid or may not issue on patent applications or that competitors may circumvent our planned patents and thereby render our planned licenses of no commercial value. In addition, when all of the patents underlying a license expire, our royalties from that license will cease, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to replace those royalties with royalty revenues from other licenses.
(15) THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATING IF IT IS UNABLE TO MANAGE ITS FUTURE GROWTH.
The company expects to experience substantial growth into the foreseeable future. The company’s growth may place a significant strain on its management, financial, operating, and technical resources. Failure to manage this growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial condition or results of operations.
(16) THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL COSTS THAT WERE NOT ANTICIPATED AND IT IS UNCERTAIN THAT THE COMPANY WILL BE ABLE TO RAISE THE ADDITIONAL FINANCING NECESSARY TO COVER THESE COSTS.
Management has made reasonable efforts to assess and predict the expenses of its patent application development and filing programs. The expenses will include the costs of retaining patent application and legal consultants. However, we can offer no assurance that implementing the company’s business plan may not require more consultants, employees, capital equipment, supplies or other expenditure items than management has predicted. Similarly, the cost of compensating additional management, employees or consultants (or other operating costs) may be more than management’s estimates. Our underestimation of such costs could result in sustained losses.
(17) THE COMPANY CANNOT OFFER ANY ASSURANCES THAT IT WILL RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT REVENUES OR CAN ACHIEVE OPERATING PROFITS.
There company may be unable to develop consistent revenues or profitable operations. If we cannot make a profit, shareholders may lose their entire investment.
Risks Related to Legal Uncertainty
(18) PATENT LITIGATION HAS INCREASED; IT CAN BE EXPENSIVE AND MAY DELAY OR PREVENT OUR LICENSEES' PRODUCTS FROM ENTERING THE MARKET.

In the future, our clients and/or we may pursue patent infringement litigation or interference proceedings against sellers of products that we believe infringe our patent rights. Holders of conflicting patents or sellers of competing products may also challenge our planned patents in patent infringement litigation or interference proceedings. We cannot assure you that our clients and/or we will be successful in any such litigation or proceeding, and the results and costs of such litigation or proceeding may materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Risks Related to Investing in Our Industry
(19) IN THE MARKETS FOR OUR LICENSEES' PRODUCTS, TECHNOLOGY CAN CHANGE RAPIDLY AND INDUSTRY STANDARDS ARE CONTINUALLY EVOLVING. THIS OFTEN MAKES PRODUCTS OBSOLETE OR RESULTS IN SHORT PRODUCT LIFECYCLES. OUR PROFITABILITY DEPENDS ON OUR LICENSEES' ABILITY TO ADAPT TO SUCH CHANGES.
Therefore, our profitability will depend in large part on our clients', our licensees' and our abilities to:
— introduce products in a timely manner;
— maintain a pipeline of new technologies;
— enhance and improve existing products continually;
— maintain development capabilities;
— anticipate or adapt to technological changes and advances in relevant industries; and
— ensure continuing compatibility with evolving industry standards.
(20) DEVELOPING NEW PRODUCTS, CREATING EFFECTIVE COMMERCIALIZATION STRATEGIES FOR TECHNOLOGIES AND ENHANCING THOSE PRODUCTS AND STRATEGIES ARE SUBJECT TO INHERENT RISKS. THESE RISKS INCLUDE UNANTICIPATED DELAYS, UNRECOVERABLE EXPENSES, TECHNICAL PROBLEMS OR DIFFICULTIES, AS WELL AS THE POSSIBILITY THAT DEVELOPMENT FUNDS WILL BE INSUFFICIENT. ANY ONE OF THESE COULD MAKE US ABANDON OR SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGE OUR TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIALIZATION STRATEGY.
Our success will depend upon, among other things, our planned client’s products meeting targeted cost and performance objectives for large-scale production, our planned licensees' ability to adapt technologies to satisfy industry standards, satisfy consumer expectations and needs and bring their products to market before the market is saturated. They may encounter unanticipated technical or other problems that result in increased costs or substantial delays in introducing and marketing new products. Current and future products may not be reliable or durable under actual operating conditions or otherwise commercially viable and competitive. New products may not satisfy price or other performance objectives when introduced in the marketplace. Any of these events could adversely affect our realization of royalties from such new products.
(21) STRONG COMPETITION WITHIN OUR INDUSTRY MAY REDUCE OUR CLIENT BASE.
We compete with universities, law firms, venture capital firms and other technology commercialization firms for technology licensing opportunities. Many organizations offer some aspect of patent development and technology transfer services. This market is highly fragmented and participants are frequently focused on a specific technology area. Some of our competitors are well established and have more financial and human resources than we do.
Risks Related To This Offering
14
(22) IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP, SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES.
Currently, our common stock is not listed on any exchange and no market exists for our stock. The company cannot apply directly to be quoted on the NASD Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). We may consider pursuing a quotation on the OTCBB after this registration becomes effective and the company has completed its offering. However, the Company can only apply to the OTCBB for a quotation as long as there is interest by broker-dealers in acting as a market maker in the company’s stock. Despite our best efforts, we may not be able to convince any broker/dealers to act as market-makers and make quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board. Thus, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that our stock will be traded or that, if traded, that a market will develop. If no market develops, the holders of our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares and may lose all of their investment. Further, even if a market develops, our common stock may be subject to volatile price fluctuations.
(23)IN THE EVENT THAT THE COMPANY’S SHARES ARE TRADED, THEY MAY TRADE UNDER $5.00 PER SHARE AND THEY WILL BE A PENNY STOCK. TRADING IN PENNY STOCKS HAS MANY RESTRICTIONS AND THESE RESTRICTIONS COULD SEVERLY AFFECT THE PRICE AND LIQUIDITY OF THE COMPANY’S SHARES.
In the event our shares are traded, and our stock trades below $5.00 per share our stock would be known as a “penny stock” which is subject to various regulations involving disclosures to be given to you prior to purchase of any penny stock. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Depending on market fluctuations, our common stock could be considered to be a “penny stock”. A penny stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these securities. In addition he must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. He must also provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities, and may negatively affect the ability of holders of shares of our common stock to resell them. These disclosures require you to acknowledge you understand the risk associated with buying penny stocks and that you can absorb the entire loss of your investment. Penny stocks are low priced securities that do not have a very high trading volume. Consequently, the price of the stock is oftentimes volatile and you may not be able to buy or sell the stock when you want.
(24) IF OUR EXISTING SHAREHOLDER SELLS A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES ALL AT ONCE OR IN BLOCKS, THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR SHARES WOULD MOST LIKELY DECLINE.
The company currently has 9,500,000 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding (all of which are owned by our only current shareholder, Mr. Yomoguita is offering an additional 4,000,000 shares to the public through this prospectus. Thus, the additional shares offered by this prospectus represent only approximately 29.6% of the common shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. Although our common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange, if a market should develop, then shares sold at a price below the current market price at which the common stock is trading will cause that market price to decline. Moreover, the offer or sale of a large number of shares by our existing shareholder at any price may cause the market price to fall (see “Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters” below).
(25) SINCE THE COMPANY HAS 75,000,000 AUTHORIZED SHARES, THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT COULD ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES, THEREBY DILLUTING THE COMPANY’S CURRENT SHARE HOLDERS’ EQUITY.
The company has 75,000,000 authorized shares, of which only 9,500,000 are currently issued and outstanding and only 13,500,000 will be issued and outstanding after this offering terminates. In the future, the company’s management could, without the consent of the company’s then existing shareholders, issue substantially more shares, causing a large dilution in the equity position of the company’s shareholders. Additionally, large share
15
issuances by the company would generally have a negative impact on the company’s share price. It is possible that, due to additional share issuance, you could lose a substantial amount, or all, of your investment.
(26) INVESTORS WILL PAY MORE FOR PATENT PROS’S COMMON STOCK THAN THE PRO RATA PORTION OF OUR ASSETS IS WORTH; AS A RESULT, INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK MAY RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE LOSS.
The offering price and other terms and conditions regarding the company’s shares have been arbitrarily determined by the company and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. Additionally, since the company has recently formed and has only a limited operating history and no earnings, the price of the offered shares is not based on its past earnings. No investment banker, appraiser or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares.
The arbitrary offering price of $0.03 per common share as determined herein is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of Patents Professional’s common stock. Patents Professional assets do not substantiate a share price of $0.03 per share. This premium in share price applies to the terms of this offering and does not attempt to reflect any forward looking share price subsequent to the company becoming quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
(27) IF THE COMPANY IS DISSOLVED, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THERE WILL BE SUFFICIENT ASSETS REMAINING TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS.
Funds invested in this offering will not be placed in an escrow or trust account. If we file for bankruptcy protection, or a petition for involuntary bankruptcy is filed by creditors against us, your funds will become part of the bankruptcy estate and administered according to the bankruptcy laws. Thus, in the event of the dissolution of the company, any proceeds realized from the liquidation of its assets will be distributed to the shareholders only after all claims of the company’s creditors are satisfied. In that case, the ability of purchasers of the offered shares to recover any portion of his or her purchase price for the offered shares will depend on the amount of funds realized and the claims to be satisfied there from. As such, you will lose your investment as your funds will be used to pay creditors and will not be used for the source of our planned household product line.
(28) SINCE WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY, WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, but plan rather to retain earnings, if any, for the operation, growth and expansion of our business.
(29) SINCE OUR COMPANY’S SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR CURRENTLY OWNS 70.4% OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, INVESTORS MAY FIND THAT HIS CORPORATE DECISIONS MAY BE CONTRARY TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR OTHER STOCKHOLDERS.
Mr. Yomoguita, the company’s sole officer and director, currently owns 100% of our outstanding shares and will own at least 70.4% after this offering is completed, regardless of the number of shares sold. As a result, he may be able to choose all of our directors and control the direction of the company. Accordingly, he will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. Mr. Yomoguita’s interests may differ from the best interests of our other stockholders. Factors that could cause his interests to differ from the interests of our other stockholders include the impact of corporate transactions on the timing of business operations and his ability to continue to manage the business given the amount of time he is able and willing to devote to the company.
Further, since investors in this offering will be unable to change the course of our operations, the shares we are offering lack the value normally attributable to voting rights. This could result in a reduction in value of the shares you own because of their ineffective voting power.
16
(30) INVESTORS IN THIS OFFERING MAY NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE INVESTING IN A COMPANY WHOSE SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR HAS LIMITED OR NO LIABILITY TO ITS SHAREHOLDERS FOR DAMAGES.
The Articles of Incorporation of the company include a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of the company’s sole officer and director and its shareholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer. Accordingly, the officer and director may have no liability to the shareholders for any mistakes or errors of judgment or for any act of omission, unless such act or omission involves intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law or results in unlawful distributions to the shareholders.
All decisions regarding the management of the company’s affairs will be made exclusively by its sole officer and director. Purchasers of the offered shares may not participate in the management of the company and, therefore, are dependent upon the management abilities of the company’s sole officer and director. The only assurance that the shareholders of the company, including purchasers of the offered shares, have that the company’s sole officer and director will not abuse his discretion in executing the company’s business affairs, is his fiduciary obligation and business integrity. Such discretionary powers include, but are not limited to, decisions regarding all aspects of business operations, corporate transactions and financing. Accordingly, no person should purchase the offered shares unless that person is willing to entrust all aspects of management to the company’s sole officer and director, or his successors. Potential purchasers of the offered shares must carefully evaluate the personal experience and business performance of the company’s management.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
As there is no established public market for our shares, the offering price and other terms and conditions relative to our shares have been arbitrarily determined by Patents Professional and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value, or any other objective criteria of value. In addition, no investment banker, appraiser, or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares
DILUTION
The price of the current offering is fixed at $0.03 per share. This price is significantly greater than the price paid by the Company’s sole officer and director for common equity since the Company’s inception on December 17, 2008. The Company’s sole officer and director paid $0.001 per share, a difference of $0.029 per share lower than the share price in this offering.
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders. The following tables compare the differences of your investment in our shares with the investment of our existing stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
9,500,000 common shares are issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. The Company is registering an additional of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock for possible resale at the price of $0.03 per share. There is no arrangement to address the possible effect of the offerings on the price of the stock.
In connection with the Company’s selling efforts in the offering, Mr. Yomoguita will not register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, but rather will rely upon the“safe harbor” provisions of Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act. Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in an offering of the issuer’s securities. Mr. Yomoguita is not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act. Mr. Yomoguita will not be compensated in connection with his participation in the offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities. Mr. Yomoguita is not, nor has he been within the past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and he is not, nor has he been within the past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. At the end of the offering, Mr. Yomoguita will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for the Company or on its behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities. Mr. Yomoguita will not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii).
Patents Professional will receive all proceeds from the sale of those shares. The price per share is fixed at $0.03 for the duration of this offering. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we intend to seek quotation on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). In order to be quoted on the Bulletin
19
Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.
The Company's shares may be sold to purchasers from time to time directly by and subject to the discretion of the Company. Further, the Company will not offer its shares for sale through underwriters, dealers, agents or anyone who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Company and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agents. The shares sold by the Company may be occasionally sold in one or more transactions; all shares sold under this prospectus will be sold at a fixed price of $0.03 per share.
In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Company will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration Statement is effective.
Patents Professional will pay all expenses incidental to the registration of the shares (including registration pursuant to the securities laws of certain states).
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The holders of our common stock:
· have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our Board of Directors;
· are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;
· do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights;
· and are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.
We refer you to the Bylaws of our Articles of Incorporation and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities.
Non-cumulative Voting
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. After this offering is completed, present stockholders will own approximately 70.4%of our outstanding shares.
20
Cash Dividends
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not declared or paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings in our business operations.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Currently, we have no Nevada shareholders and since this offering will not be made in the State of Nevada, no shares will be sold to its residents. Accordingly, there are no anti-takeover provisions that have the affect of delaying or preventing a change in our control.
Stock Transfer Agent
We have not engaged the services of a transfer agent at this time. However, within the next twelve months we anticipate doing so. Until such a time a transfer agent is retained, Patents Professional will act as its own transfer agent.
INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Nor was any such person connected with the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Development
On December 17, 2008, Mr. Wagner Massao Yomoguita, president and sole director, incorporated the Company in the State of Nevada and established a fiscal year end of December 31. The objective of this corporation is to seek business opportunities in the patent consulting and technology transfer and commercialization industries, specializing in financing and facilitating the patent application process for individual inventors and organizations that lack the financial resources to do so on their own. We plan to share the license and royalty fees generated by the commercialization of our clients’ inventions or products in exchange for financing and expediting their North American and ICT patent applications. We also plan to provide technology transfer and licensing services focused on the technology needs of our customers (licensees) by matching those requirements with commercially viable solutions developed by our clients. We plan to identify, develop, and commercialize innovative technologies in life,
21
digital, nano and physical sciences developed by universities, companies, independent research institutions and individual inventors.
We seek to maximize the value of intellectual property for the benefit of our future customers, clients and stockholders by selling, licensing or otherwise commercializing technologies covered by our portfolio of intellectual property rights. We obtain customers' technology requirements and match them with effective technology solutions provided by our clients, bridging the gap between market demand and raw innovation. In some cases, we may enforce our clients' and our patent rights with respect to certain of our planned technologies.
Our customers will pay license and royalty fees for licensed rights to use our clients' and our technologies. We may also realize revenues from future court awarded judgments and settlements of patent enforcement actions. We plan to share these fees, judgments and settlements with our clients under our respective agreements with them.
Since our incorporation we have been engaged in organizational activities and formulating our business model. We have not yet identified any clients or customers, developed any patent applications or realized any revenues to date. There will be an opportunity to earn revenues only if we can find clients with commercially valuable inventions that are patentable, are successful in acquiring the rights to a portion of the royalties generated by commercially successful products and we can obtain future financing, additional to the proceeds of this offering, in order to initiate our marketing programs. Currently, we do not have sufficient funds to enable us to initiate or complete our patent acquisition program. We will require financing through this offering to commence and this program, as described in the Sections entitled “Description of Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and the Results of our Operations”.
Our business office is located at 112 North Curry Street, Carson City, Nevada, 89703; our telephone number is 775 321-8206 and our fax number is 775 562-4736. Our United States and registered statutory office is located at 112 North Curry Street, Carson City, Nevada, 89703, telephone number (775) 882-1013.
Patents Professional has no plans to change its business activities or to combine with another business and is not aware of any circumstances or events that might cause this plan to change.
Market Opportunity
Each year approximately 77,000 patents originating out of the United States are filed. The Company’s management feels there are many inventors that have products they would like to patent but cannot afford the cost of the patent process.
The Company will fund the cost of a patent application for those products the Company feels are novel and marketable. The Company will enter into a partnership equity arrangement with the developer of the product.
We believe a two-pronged strategy of developing both a portfolio of patents (by entering into revenue sharing agreements with inventors and other technology providers) and a matching base of institutional customers (who seek to license innovative technologies) will garner us a share in the developing international markets for patent consulting and technology transfer services.
22
Due to the large quantity of patent offerings many organizations such as universities, law firms, venture capital firms offer some aspect of patent development and technology transfer services. As this market is highly fragmented and participants are frequently focused on a specific technology area, some of our competitors are well established and have more financial and human resources than we do.
We do not have a clear vision of the impact of the current economyon our business. Although there are signals of recuperation, investments in research and development may recover slower than the other areas, The current economic trends could have a negative impact on the copany’s ability to raise funds.
The Company feels there is still a large opportunity to help inventors who do not have the funding or knowledge to protect their investment.
Target Markets
Our primary clients will be individual inventors or technology developers who require financial capital and/or technical and legal services to file and defend their patent applications and to negotiate licensing agreements with our customers. Our primary customers will be institutions who require innovative technologies in life, digital, nano and physical sciences. We currently have no such relationships with clients or customers.
According to the Article “Effects of Intellectual Property Protections on the Conduct of Scientific Research: Results of a Survey of U.S. AAAS Members”:
Acquiring Intellectual Property
· Since January 1, 2002, 32 percent of respondents indicated that they had acquired for use in their work a patented technology, material or methods under some form of intellectual property (IP) protection(s). The largest percentage of IP was acquired by respondents working in the biological sciences (34 percent).
· Overall, industry was the source of more IP-protected technology (60 percent of reported acquisitions) than academic sources (29 percent of reported acquisitions).
· Fifty-four percent of respondents classified their last acquisition as a research tool (a technology used to conduct research, but which is not the subject of the research itself). Among scientist respondents, research tools accounted for more than half of acquisitions for biological sciences respondents (66 percent), physics and astronomy respondents (59 percent), and earth sciences respondents (59 percent). Respondents from the medical/health sciences reported 48 percent of their last acquisitions as research tools; among agricultural scientists, the rate was 40 percent.
· The majority of acquisitions by academic respondents (29 percent) and GNHC respondents (35 percent) occurred in less than a month. Most acquisitions by industry respondents (34 percent) took six months or longer.
· The most common problem reported by academia, industry, and the GNHC respondents was that licensing negotiations were overly complex. For academic respondents, the most common effect due to problems with licesing was that reported projects were delayed. In sharp contrast, industry changed more projects than delayed them. Overall, only nineteen reported projects were abandoned.
Creating and Protecting Intellectual Property
· Fifty-two percent of 1,980 respondents reported that, since January 1, 2002, they created (or contributed significantly to) a technology that they considered eligible for intellectual property (IP) protections. More specifically, 78 percent of industry respondents, 42 percent of academic respondents, and 45 percent of GNHC (Government, Nonprofit organization, Healthcare organization, or Self-employed/Consulting firm) respondents reported creating or contributing significantly to a technology that they considered eligible for intellectual property (IP) protections. Of those respondents who created IP, 65 percent applied for patents (industry respondents: 75 percent; academic respondents: 60 percent; GNHC respondents: 47 percent).

· Patents were the legal protection most applied by respondents in all sectors and in all scientific fields except earth sciences and math and computer sciences, where more copyright protections were sought. Copyright was the second-most applied protection for the academic respondents and the GNHC respondents. For industry respondents, the second-most commonly applied protections were trade secrets.
· The largest percentage of respondents reporting at least one patent issued since January 1, 2002 was in the industry sector (51 percent), followed by academic respondents (35 percent), then GNHC (27 percent).
· Beyond legal protections, the most prevalent means to protect IP for respondents from the majority of fields, respondents in industry, and respondents in the GNHC sector was to delay publication, not publish at all, or withhold data. Respondents from industry and the GNHC sector reported higher percentages of withholding data (20 percent and 17 percent, respectively), delaying publication (23 percent and 19 percent, respectively), and not publishing at all (26 percent and 18 percent, respectively) than respondents from academia (5 percent withholding data, 14 percent delaying publication, and 4 percent not publishing at all). Additionally, academic respondents reported that, since January1, 2002, 11 percent of their innovations were not covered by any form of IP protection(s), compared to 2 percent for industry respondents and 9 percent for GNHC respondents.
· Since January 1, 2002, 52 percent of respondents who reported obtaining patents also reported distributing their patented technology: 63 percent of academic respondents, 62 percent of GNHC respondents, and 45 percent of industry respondents reported distributing their patented technology.

Description of our Services
Our patent acquisition program intends to identify any clients with commercially viable inventions that we feel are patentable. We intend to negotiate an equity stake in each product we sponsor, each percentage of equity will be negotiated on a product by product basis. If we are successful in obtaining a type of product protection, patent, trade mark or industrial design we intend to then seek out partners to manufacture and distribute or find and out right buyer of the patent.
The company intends to use third party consultants throughout its business model, these may include consultants to assist in evaluating various products within their field of expertise to help ascertain the products market viability. We would use third party attorneys or authors to write the initial patent applications and followup filings.
Upon a successful patent grant the company may hire business brokers to sell the patents to potential buyers.
The dependence on hiring the appropriate third parties to perform essential services could result in a material adverse effect on the company’s potential future operations and, consequently, on the company’sbusiness, operating results and financial condition. Further, such third party contractors have no fiduciary duty to our shareholders and may not perform these services as expected. The capacity of certain third parties for these services may be limited for economic or other reasons.
As of the date of this prospectus the company has not hired any third party consultants.
Revenue Recognition
We will derive revenues primarily from patent and technology license and royalty fees as well as selling the patent to a business already established in the patented products space.. Since these revenues will result from our representation agreements with owners and assignees of intellectual property rights, we plan to record revenues net
26
of the owners' and assignees' shares of license and royalty fees. We will stipulate the terms of our licensing arrangements in written agreements with owners, assignees and licensees.
Single element arrangements
Since we plan to have no significant obligations after we execute our typical license agreements, they will generally be single element arrangements. Under the terms of our license agreements, we will generally receive an upfront license fee and a royalty stream based upon a licensee's sales of products applying the licensed technology.
License fees under single element arrangements
We plan to recognize upfront, non-refundable license fees when our licensee executes a license agreement and pays the license fee. When these two events occur, we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, no continuing obligations, completed delivery, and assurance of collection.
Royalty fees under single element arrangements
Although we plan to fix the royalty rate (e.g., percentage of sales or rate per unit sold) in the license agreement, the amount of earned royalties will be contingent upon the amount of licensed product the licensee sells. Royalties earned in each reporting period are contingent on the outcome of events (i.e., the licensee's sales of licensed products) occurring within that period that are not within our control and are not directly tied to our providing services. Therefore, we plan to recognize this royalty revenue when the contingency is resolved and we can estimate the amount of royalty fees earned, which is upon our receipt of the licensee's royalty report.
Royalty settlements
We will recognize royalty settlement revenue when our rights to litigation awards related to our planned patent and license rights are final and un-appealable and we have assurance of collecting those awards. We will also recognize royalty settlement revenue when we have collected litigation awards in cash (from the adverse party or by sale of our rights to another party without recourse) and we have no obligation or are very unlikely to be obligated to repay such collected amounts. We plan to include royalty settlement revenue in operating revenue. Although final litigation awards may be infrequent, they are an integral aspect of our planned patent and technology licensing and commercialization business.
Other arrangements
In limited instances, we may enter into multiple element arrangements with continuing service obligations. Based upon the limited verifiable objective evidence available, we plan to generally defer all revenue from such multiple element arrangements until we deliver all elements.
We plan to evaluate milestone billing arrangements on a case-by-case basis. Generally we recognize upfront fees rateably over the entire arrangement and milestone payments as we achieve milestones.
Competitive Advantages
Technology Commercialization Services
Patent Pros plans to provide full patent consulting, technology transfer and licensing services focused on matching the technology needs of universities, companies, independent research institutions with commercially viable solutions provided by our clients. We plan to identify, develop and commercialize innovative technologies in life, digital and physical sciences, including communications, semiconductors, Internet, e-commerce and consumer electronic, display, environmental and nano-technologies, smart/novel materials, pharmaceuticals, biotechnologies and medical devices. In some cases, we may enforce our clients' and our future patent rights with respect to certain technologies.
27
Patent Application Services
We plan to provide our clients with a full line of services for filing their North American and ICT patent applications. These include performing all aspects of the original drafting, translation, filing, prosecution, administrative re-examination and review of patent applications. They also include performing the court proceedings, advocacy, opinion work and prior art searches required to file and defend our clients’ applications.
Marketing
The Company intends to find potential customers by attending several inventor’s trade shows where the Company will offer its business proposal to inventors who’s products the Company feels are both viable from a patent and marketing point of view. The Company will develop a web page explaining to inventors the services that the Company offers, the Company will drive traffic to the web site through Google ad words and non spam direct mail campaigns as well as handing out brochures at trade shows. As of the date of this prospectus the company has not begun any marketing activities as described above.
Intellectual Property
We intend, in due course, subject to legal advice, to apply for trademark protection and/or copyright protection in the United States, Canada, and other jurisdictions.
We intend to aggressively assert our rights trademark and copyright laws to protect our intellectual property, including product research and concepts and recognized trademarks. These rights are protected through the acquisition of trademark registrations, the maintenance of copyrights, and, where appropriate, litigation against those who are, in our opinion, infringing these rights.
While there can be no assurance that registered trademarks and copyrights will protect our proprietary information, we intend to assert our intellectual property rights against any infringer. Although any assertion of our rights can result in a substantial cost to, and diversion of effort by, our Company, management believes that the protection of our intellectual property rights is a key component of our operating strategy.
Regulatory Matters
We are unaware of and do not anticipate having to expend significant resources to comply with any governmental regulations of the patents industry. We are subject to the laws and regulations of those jurisdictions in which we plan to offer our services, which are generally applicable to business operations, such as business licensing requirements, income taxes and payroll taxes. In general, the development and operation of our business is not subject to special regulatory and/or supervisory requirements.
Employees and Employment Agreements
As the date of this prospectus, Patents Professional has no permanent staff other than its sole officer and director, Mr. Wagner Massao Yomoguita, who is the President and Chairman of the Company. Mr. Yomoguita is employed elsewhere and has the flexibility to work on Patents Professional around 5 to7 hours per week. He is prepared to devote more time to our operations as may be required. He is not being paid at present.
There are no employment agreements in existence. The Company presently does not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, the Company may adopt plans in the future.

PATENTS PROFESSIONAL, INC.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| June 30, 2010 |
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Patents Professional, Inc. (“Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit Company on December 17, 2008 and established a fiscal year end of December 31. It is a development-stage Company that intends to seek business opportunities in the patent consulting and technology transfer and commercialization industries, specializing in financing and facilitating the patent application process for individual inventors and organizations that lack the financial resources to do so on their own.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements present the balance sheet, statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows of the Company. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No.740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.

PATENTS PROFESSIONAL, INC.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| June 30, 2010 |
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with ASC No. 830, "Foreign Currency Translation", foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the periods presented. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit), whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date.
Share Based Expenses
In September of 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC No. 718, “Share Based Payment.” This statement requires a public entity to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments. This statement also provides guidance on valuing and expensing these awards, as well as disclosure requirements of these equity arrangements. The Company adopted ASC No. 718 upon creation of the company and expenses share based costs in the period incurred.
Going concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company does not have cash nor material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs giving substantial doubt for it to continue as a going concern. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan, or merge with an operating company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either situation in order to continue as a going concern. The officers and directors have committed to advancing certain operating costs of the Company.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is funding its initial operations by way of issuing Founder’s shares. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had issued 9,500,000 Founder’s shares at $0.001 per share for net funds fully paid to the Company of $9,500 on April 20, 2009.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company’s management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements since the last audit through the issuance date of these financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, none of the recent accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| June 30, 2010 |
NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In accordance with the requirements of ASC No. 825, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities approximate their carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
NOTE 4 – CAPITAL STOCK
The Company’s capitalization is 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. No preferred shares have been authorized or issued.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company has not granted any stock options and has not recorded any stock-based compensation.
In January, 2009 the company received cash of $5,000, and in April, 2009 received the balance of $4,500 of the outstanding $9,500 subscription receivable at the beginning of the year.
NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES
We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception. Per Statement of Accounting Standard No. 740– Accounting for Income Tax and FASB Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of ASC No.740, when it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit. We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.
The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2010 are as follows:
| June 30, 2010 | December 31, 2009 |
Net operating loss carry forward | $ 31,032 | $23,497 |
Effective Tax Rate | 35% | 35% |
Deferred tax asset | $10,861 | $ 8,224 |
Less: Valuation Allowance | (10,861) | (8,224) |
Net deferred tax asset | $ 0 | $ 0 |

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES (continued)
The net federal operating loss carry forward will expire between 2027 and 2028. This carry forward may be limited upon the consummation of a business combination under IRC Section 381.
NOTE 6 – LOAN PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY LOANS
The Company received $5,531 on April 20, 2009 as loan from related party totalling $5,531.The loan is payable on demand and without interest.
NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to, and no such events have occurred.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Patents Professional, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Patents Professional, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 (restated), and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (restated), and since inception on December 17, 2008 through December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conduct our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Patents Professional, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 (restated) and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (restated), and since inception on December 17, 2008 through December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 7 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has restated its 2008 financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company does not have cash nor material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PATENTS PROFESSIONAL, INC.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| December 31, 2009 |
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Patents Professional, Inc. (“Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit Company on December 17, 2008 and established a fiscal year end of December 31. It is a development-stage Company that intends to seek business opportunities in the patent consulting and technology transfer and commercialization industries, specializing in financing and facilitating the patent application process for individual inventors and organizations that lack the financial resources to do so on their own.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements present the balance sheet, statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows of the Company. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No.740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| December 31, 2009 |
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with ASC No. 830, "Foreign Currency Translation", foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the periods presented. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit), whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations
Stock-based Compensation
The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date.
Share Based Expenses
In September of 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC No. 718, “Share Based Payment.” This statement requires a public entity to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments. This statement also provides guidance on valuing and expensing these awards, as well as disclosure requirements of these equity arrangements. The Company adopted ASC No. 718 upon creation of the company and expenses share based costs in the period incurred.
Going concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company does not have cash nor material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs giving substantial doubt for it to continue as a going concern. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan, or merge with an operating company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either situation in order to continue as a going concern. The officers and directors have committed to advancing certain operating costs of the Company.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is funding its initial operations by way of issuing Founder’s shares. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had issued 9,500,000 Founder’s shares at $0.001 per share for net funds fully paid to the Company of $9,500 on April 20, 2009.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company management has reviewed recent accounting pronouncements issued through the date of the issuance of financial statements. In management’s opinion, except for those pronouncements detailed below, no other pronouncements apply or will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 Subsequent Events, which establishes principles and requirements for subsequent events. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 855, the Company currently evaluates subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued.
NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In accordance with the requirements of ASC No. 825 and ASC No. 825, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities approximate their carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

NOTE 4 – CAPITAL STOCK
The Company’s capitalization is 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. No preferred shares have been authorized or issued.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company has not granted any stock options and has not recorded any stock-based compensation.
In January, 2009 the company received cash of $5,000, and in April, 2009 received the balance of $4,500 of the outstanding $9,500 subscription receivable at the beginning of the year.
NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES
We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception. Per Statement of Accounting Standard No. 740– Accounting for Income Tax and FASB Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of ASC No.740, when it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit. We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.
The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2009 are as follows:
| December 31, 2009 | December 31, 2008 |
Net operating loss carry forward | $ 23,497 | $ 1,630 |
Effective Tax Rate | 35% | 35% |
Deferred tax asset | $8,224 | $ 571 |
Less: Valuation Allowance | (8,224) | (571) |
Net deferred tax asset | $ 0 | $ 0 |
The net federal operating loss carry forward will expire between 2027 and 2028. This carry forward may be limited upon the consummation of a business combination under IRC Section 381.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Company has evaluated subsequent events up to and including the issuance date of these statements, and no such events have occurred.
48
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section of the Registration Statement includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.
Plan of Operation
Over the next 12 months after this registration statement becomes effective the company must (a) raise capital, (b) identify several specific, high growth technology markets, (c) identify qualified institutional customers who require commercial applications of these technologies, (d) identify and sign revenue sharing agreements with clients who are capable of providing these commercial applications in the form of patentable inventions, products, techniques or processes, (e) start the process of preparing and filing our initial patent applications and finally (f) enter licensing agreements with our first customers.
The company intends to hire an independent third party patent consultant to perform all aspects pertaining to the filing of its clients’ patent applications and commission sales staff to identify institutional customers who are seeking our patented technologies and enter licensing agreements with them. We also expect to hire an independent consultant to develop our web site and computer systems within 60 days after the termination of the sale of shares through this registration statement.
The dependence on hiring the appropriate third parties to perform essential services could result in a material adverse effect on the company’s potential future operations and, consequently, on the company’sbusiness, operating results and financial condition. Further, such third party contractors have no fiduciary duty to our shareholders and may not perform these services as expected. The capacity of certain third parties for these services may be limited for economic or other reasons. Their inability to provide these services could have a material adverse effect upon the results of our operations and financial condition.
Up to this moment, we are still searching electable companies or individual consultants to perform these services. We intend to have a very strict selection phase before choosing the right partners to compose our operation.
The company anticipates qualifying its first clients and signing revenue sharing exclusivity agreements with them within 120 days after the termination of the sale of shares through this registration statement.. The company expects to start the process of filing its first patent applications within 180 days after the termination of the sale of shares through this registration statement.
Concurrently with the filing of our first patent applications, we plan on hire a commission sales person with experience in the technology transfer and sales industry to begin the sales and marketing of our technology licenses. We anticipate that we may be able to hire this commission sales person within approximately 270 days of after the termination of the sale of shares through this registration statement. The company anticipates that our sales cycle (the length of time between initial customer contact and sale completion) to be a minimum of 90 days. We anticipate that we may sign our first licensing agreements within 360 days after the termination of the sale of shares through this registration statement.
49
If we can develop a portfolio of commercially valuable patents and we receive a positive reaction from our potential customers, we will attempt to raise money through a private placement, public offering or through loans to finance additional patent applications.
At present, our sole officer and director is unwilling to make any commitment to loan us any funds, but may reconsider if we source desirable products at reasonable pricing. His unwillingness to loan us additional money at this time is simply because he does not want to. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. If we need additional cash but are unable to raise it, we will either suspend marketing operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.
If we are unable to complete any phase of our patent development or licensing efforts because we don’t have enough money, we will cease our patent filing and licensing operations until we raise money. Attempting to raise capital after failing in any phase of our business plan would be difficult. As such, if we cannot secure additional proceeds we will have to cease operations and investors would lose their entire investment.
Management does not plan to hire additional employees at this time. Our sole officer and director will be responsible for the vetting our initial clients. As outlined above, the company also intends to hire sales representatives initially on a commission only basis to keep administrative overhead to a minimum.
Results of Operations
For the period from inception through June 30, 2010, we had no revenue. Expenses for the period totaled ($4,555) resulting in a Net loss of ($4,555).
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2010 we had $449 in cash.
Our auditors have issued a “going concern” opinion, meaning that there is substantial doubt if we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues are anticipated until we have completed the financing from this offering and implemented our plan of operations. Our only source for cash at this time is investments by others in this offering. We must raise cash to implement our strategy and stay in business. The amount of the offering will likely allow us to operate for at least one year.
The Company estimates $30,000 the minimum amount of capital needed to initiate its business plan over the next 12 months. Patents Professional currently spends on accounting, edgarizing and filings approximately $2,000 per quarter. The Company feel if it can contractually tie up favorable patentable products that subsequent financing through private places, or loans could be achieved.
Management believes that if subsequent private placements are successful, we will generate sales revenue within the following twelve months thereof. However, additional equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.
50
We are highly dependent upon the success of the anticipated offering described herein. Therefore, the failure thereof would result in need to seek capital from other resources such as debt financing, which may not even be available to the Company. However, if such financing were available, because we are a development stage Company with no operations to date, it would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing. If the Company cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of its common stock or secure debt financing, it would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors would lose all of their investment.
We do not anticipate researching any further products or services nor the purchase or sale of any significant equipment. We also do not expect any significant additions to the number of employees.
As of the date of this registration statement, the current funds available to the Company will not be sufficient to continue maintaining a reporting status. The Company’s sole officer and director, Mr. Yomoguita has indicated that he may be willing to provide funds required to maintain the reporting status in the form of a non-secured loan for the next twelve months as the expenses are incurred if no other proceeds are obtained by the Company. However, there is no contract in place or written agreement securing this agreement. Management believes if the Company cannot maintain its reporting status with the SEC it will have to cease all efforts directed towards the Company. As such, any investment previously made would be lost in its entirety.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party, under which the Company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On August 3, 2009, Board of Directors of the Registrant dismissed Moore & Associates Chartered, its independent registered public account firm. On the same date, August 3, 2009, the accounting firm of Seale and Beers, CPAs was engaged as the Registrant's new independent registered public account firm.
On August 27, 2009, PCAOB revoked the registration of Moore and Associates Chartered (“Moore”) because of violations of PCAOB rules and auditing standards in auditing the financial statements, PCAOB rules and quality controls standards, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10-b thereunder, and noncooperation with a Board investigation.
The Board of Directors of the Registrant and the Registrant's Audit Committee approved the dismissal of Moore & Associates Chartered and the engagement of Seale and Beers, CPAs as its independent auditor. None of the reports of Moore & Associates Chartered on the Company's financial

statements for either of the past two years or subsequent interim period contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the Registrant's audited financial statements contained in its Form S-1 for the fiscal year ended December 31 a going concern qualification in the registrant's audited financial statements.
During the registrant's last recent fiscal year and the subsequent interim periods thereto, there were no disagreements with Moore and Associates, Chartered whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Moore and Associates, Chartered's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the registrant's financial statements.
On August 3, 2009 the registrant engaged Seale and Beers, CPAs as its independent accountant. During the last fiscal year and the interim periods preceding the engagement, the registrant has not consulted Seale and Beers, CPAs regarding any of the matters set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

[1] The person named above may be deemed to be a “parent” and “promoter” of our Company, within the meaning of such terms under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of his direct and indirect stock holdings. Mr. Yomoguita is the only “promoter” of our Company.
Our sole officer and director will continue to own the majority of our common stock after the offering, regardless of the number of shares sold. Since he will continue control the Company after the offering, investors will be unable to change the course of the operations. Thus, the shares we are offering lack the value normally attributable to voting rights. This could result in a reduction in value of the shares you own because of their ineffective voting power. None of our common stock is subject to outstanding options, warrants, or securities convertible into common stock.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
55
On January 20, 2009, we issued a total of 9,500,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Wagner Massao Yomoguita, our sole officer and director, for total cash consideration of $9,500. This was accounted for as a purchase of common stock, all of which are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition. Under Rule 144, a shareholder can sell up to 1% of total outstanding shares every three months in brokers’ transactions. Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Part II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION
Independently of whether or not all shares are sold, the estimated expenses of the offering, all of which are to be paid by the Company, are as follows:
Legal and Accounting | $ | 5,300.00 |
SEC Filing Fee | $ | 6.70 |
Printing | $ | 200.00 |
Transfer Agent | $ | 1,500.00 |
TOTAL | $ | 7,006.70 |
All amounts are estimates other than the Commission’s registration fee. We are paying all expenses of the offering listed above.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
56
Our articles of incorporation and Bylaws provide that we will indemnify an officer, director, or former officer or director, to the full extent permitted by law. We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.
