Lioness Consulting offers patent law services including software patents, computer patents, internet patents, communications patents, and technology patents in Franklin, Massachusetts.
This week's tip is for students and instructors. Being in either one of these two categories qualifies you for academic discounts when buying software and hardware. Qualifying for these discounts is pretty easy. Just produce your valid student or faculty ID, or even a copy of your faculty pay stub, if your school doesn't have photo IDs for faculty. Once it is verified that you qualify for these discounts, you are all set. Listed below are some places that offer academic discounts, and a comparison of prices for two popular software packages. MS FrontPage 2002 regularly sells for $169.00 and MS Office XP Standard Edition regularly sells for $479.00.
