Richie Report post Posted October 29, 2019 I have a product that I have prototypes made and feel I need to work on a patent before I move on to packaging/branding. I have been doing some online research about patent attorneys and have been getting mixed opinions about patent attorneys. Im wondering if anyone has ever personally dealt with a patent attorney and would like to share how there experience has gone? Did you find a patent was even necessary? Recommendations of a good local one? any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ohthatguy Report post Posted October 29, 2019 Depending on what exactly you are trying to patent, it can be fairly straight forward. I had an idea and spent about 2 days on line searching the existing patents and just as importantly, when they expire. I ended up trying to hire an atty and after meeting with her, she would not take my money and said I found all the same information that they would have found. That being said, if it's a complex idea or modification to an existing item, a few thousand dollars can be cheap insurance. Or if you just don't want to spend days reviewing documents.
