5 Tips From a Patent Attorney
                     5 Tips From a Patent Attorney
  
Confidentiality Guidelines
Patent attorneys and patent agents are required by federal regulations to 
keep confidential the information they obtain from clients. Confidentiality 
requirements embodied in federal regulations specifically applicable to 
patent attorneys apply not only to those who are clients but to prospective 
clie nts. A prospective client is anyon e who comes to a patent attorney 
seeking help, advice or direction on a legal matter.
Be Prepared to Pay for Services
Expect to pay for services rendered. You are going to a professional to seek 
pro fessional assistance. Patent attor neys and patent agents do not sell 
products; they sell services, which means all they have to sell is time.
How to Shop Around
Everyone has a budget, so it is hardly a shock to learn that independent 
inventors must keep costs reasonable. Patent attorneys and patent agents 
should be able to tell you roughly how much it will cost through filing a 
pat ent application with relatively close  precision after learning a little about 
your invention.
Be Informed on the Process
Let’s return to the theme of preparation. Previously, I referred to 
preparation in terms of being organized about the information you have on 
your invention. Now it is important to understand the importance of being 
info rmed with respect to patent law an d process.
