I am looking for a patent attorney or agent to file a utility patent.

Requirements:
1.  Must be on this list.
https://oedci.uspto.gov/OEDCI/
2.  Your name must show as attorney/agent or firm on at least 6 granted mechanical patents in last year.  I would prefer attorney/agent over a firm.
3. Its a mechanical patent for 2 or 3 parts no larger than a US penny and 50 of them could fit in a shot glass.
4.  Must be located in a Red not Blue state

I am California resident. 

Send private message or reply here.

If someone misinterprets this job listing as discriminatory against Blue state IP attorney/agent I am also looking for a civil rights attorney to explain how I might be in violation of US Constitution and that I should remove this request for a Red state attorney/agent only. 

thanks and Have a Happy 4th.

Made me laugh out loud.  Made my day.

Does it matter what state the civil rights attorney practices in?

I'm trying to guess what type of invention would be more appropriate for only registered patent practitioners in red states.

• Definitely not a pregnancy termination related invention
• Maybe a system and method of generating money through Christian or Jewish religious institutions
• Definitely not a Muslim garment invention
• Maybe a sunscreen or skin care product for individuals with lighter pigment
• I doubt it would be a system and method for educating the poor.
• Possibly a system and method for manipulating ballot results in electronic voting machines.
• I doubt it would be an improvement in ballot counting to ensure accurate results that are unable to be manipulated.
• A golf-related invention is a fairly safe bet.
• Environmental protection or greenhouse gas reduction inventions are pretty doubtful.
• A software related patent on how to really profit bigtime on payday loans, credit cards, or financial instruments might be likely.
• It is doubtful that the invention is related to a safety device to reduce factory injury and death at the expense of profit and production.
• Possibly the invention is related to increasing production and profits in the manufacturing sector at the expense of worker safety.

Any other thoughts and suggestions on why a red-state attorney would be more "appropriate" for a particular invention?

... Off to the golf course I go to enjoy a round on the green grass with colleagues while drinking the finest beverages on land that was taken from citizens who couldn't afford lawyers through eminent domain and given to a private land developer to create another place to play this beautiful game.  Next round is on me if you can fly a ball over the fence and through the window of the red-tagged house across the street.

I'll play--- I be that you can get the same or better patent drafting services from a red-state attorney at a substantially reduced cost over a blue-state attorney.

It appears 2 days after my comment first posted RED state IP attorney/agents are either too busy filing patent applications, have not been granted 6 let alone 3, 4 or 5 mechanical patents in last year or do not follow this blog?

You forget another possibility:  that your phrasing, however humorous, is indicative of a high-maintenance client.  

BTW, am puzzled why state of residence can matter.  State law will have no impact except in the ethical rules governing the attorney's practice.  Patent law is federal, all the way.  And if it is the political orientation of the attorney which is at issue, that can hardly be told from the attorney's location.  Would an attorney whose views are liberal and who votes liberal but lives and practices in a "red" state be preferred over one whose views are conservative and votes conservative but lives and practices in a "blue" state?  (Although there could be some merit -- if only by way of overgeneralized likelihoods -- to bleedingpen's reasoning on this.)

Not only a problematic client, but one that lumps all practitioners as being compelled to read the OP.  Red flags all over the place.

Well, that was cetainly more politely put than I would have phrased it.  Especially since THIS IS A FORUM, NOT A BLOG, DAMMIT.  You don't go around calling your car a velocipede, do you?

But now there is an issue of confusion as well.  The OP stated that the attorney must be from a "Red not Blue state", but now appears to be looking for a "Blue state IP attorney/agents".

Moreover, the OP stated that s/he is located in California.  What if Red State attorneys don't want to work with Californians?  All that risk of being dragged into California court disputes.  *Shudder*

BTW, am puzzled why state of residence can matter.

Maybe it's a tax issue.

Whether or not I am looking for an attorney/agent from whatever state is my personal preference. 
What's there understand?  That's what I want.  I don't have to explain what I'm doing to any confused reply comment here or why I'm doing what I want.

I don't want a practitioner from 1900 Avenue of the Stars, Embarcadero Ctr, Manhattan or anyone who thinks for a few hours of work they deserve 6 thousand dollars. 

Kind of simple.    There has to be Red state IP people out there who can string 7 or 8 pages of drawings and words together, to give them meaning for an USPTO examiner to understand.

Not too worry, get on with your lives and let me live this dream of finding an IP attorney/agent with 6 mechanical patents in last year or so in a Red state.

Agreed.

This advertisement posting sent my 'douche meter' (patent pending) into the red zone.  I've dealt with nut job inventors previously - they're generally fine so long as their retainer check cashes.  However, the peculiar combination of dickishness and need to express a political bent demonstrates that there is no premium to market that justifies the future headaches.

It's rare to tell a potential client to stuff it, but it seems appropriate here.

Fair enough.  If it's just a cost issue, which is pretty understandable, I suggest trying Arizona.

Just noticed that you've been around on the forum for a while.  For some reason, I thought these were your first posts.

a Red state.

Red State = Communist Country ?
