patent lawyers
patent lawyers can be expensive, but i know that i need one. I dont even know if my idea is completely patentable. right now all i have is my idea. So i dont waste time and money, what should i already have done before meeting the lawyer?
Re: patent lawyers
I will add to Mr. Burstyn's excellent answer: Make sure you tell your patent lawyer about any disclosure you may have made of your invention. Have a good estimate of the date of that disclosure. I don't care if the disclosure was to your mother, your kids, your friends, your neighbors, or through public use of the invention, your lawyer needs to know about ANY disclosure.
Also, make sure you have some sort of a record of when you came up with the invention.
