WHAT DO I NEED BEFORE I CONTACT A PATENT ATTORNEY?
Posted in Featured Articles
In short, the task is to teach your attorney everything you know about your invention, especially the features you feel are important to be protected. You can teach your attorney in any manner that does the job. That might be through pictures, a prototype, sketches or drawings, or verbally description. You will also want to advise your attorney of any competing products or processes that you may know. You don’t need to go out of your way to learn of competing products or processes, but it would help your attorney evaluate your new device or process if you could tell him about any when he meets with you sufficiently so he could compare those with your invention.
