: : : I am an investor interested in outsourcing patent and copyright law offshore. If offshored to India, everyone can benefit. Has anyone heard of this before? : : What exactly do you want them to do? If you want patents in India, that's the way to go. If you want patents here, it's illegal for them to represent you unless they are a registered patent attorney/agent. : : As for law (not just preparing and prosecuting patent application), it's illegal for anyone other than an attorney to practice U.S. law. If there are a member of a state bar here in the U.S. but reside in India, it might be possible. It would depend on the requirements of the specific state in which they are bar members. : : I'm not saying that's the way it <b>ought</b> to be; that's just the way the law is. : : In specific answer to your question, no, I've never heard of that (probably for the difficulties outlined above). : : Regards. : Dear Mr. Ivey, : Are you suggesting that getting a patent in India is of any value in the US to a citizen or resident unless they are going to use it in India? I have not checked, but I suspect that India is not even a Member of the Paris Convention. : M.
