: : : Hi, : : : Could anyone advise on how best to go about selecting a patent attorney to work with? I have an electric machine (motor) invention that I would like to patent, and I have started work on a patent application for it. However, due to lack of time I would like to hand it over to an patent attorney or agent to complete. I hate to just pick someone out of a phone and wasn't sure how to proceed. : : : Any advice is appreciated. : : : Thanks, : : : Pat : : Dear Pat, : : In a long career, I have only met one possiblly two, non lawyer, inventors that were capable of writing a GOOD patent application. : : A patent or a patent application is not a rubber stamp. It has to be good to be of any value. : : Patents are easy to get. Good patents are hard to find. There is a scam industry making $100M+ a year getting patents. Only one in ten thousand get back more than what they pay. : : We start with a Reality Check® to save time money and worry. If you stick to trying to get a patent you may be scamming yourself, even if you get the patent. : : The Reality Check® is meant to save time, money, and worry. : : You can even go to a ligitimately registed patent lawyer who will charge you for getting a patent, that is of no value. You must find a registered patent lawyer you can trust. : : M.

Having read through a lot of patents related to my invention I know there is a lot of skill that goes into preparing one (which is why I am seeking help). : After posting this, I did come across a number of web articles on selecting an attorney. Naturally, finding someone with the proper technical background and experience with similar inventions is important. To this end, I searched the PTO databae site for names of law firms who had prepared patents for similar inventions (relevant prior art) and came up with quite a few. To pare this down, I plan on calling some (and ask lots of questions). : Anyway, I thought I would share this, and thanks again for your response. I appreciated it. : Pat
