Selecting the right IP attorney is a crucial step in the invention and branding processes. Your patent or trademark will only be as good as the patent or trademark attorney preparing it. Here's How: For patents, you should select a patent attorney who is also an engineer. Both skills are needed to construct a good patent document. You should select an attorney whose engineering background relates to the field of your invention. There are four types of engineers, mechanical, chemical, electrical and computer science. Ask the attorney, what kind of engineer he is, how long has he practiced patent law, how many patents has he drafted and for what kinds of inventions. Only choose an attorney who can give you a quote for what the entire bill will be. They will have to inspect your invention first. Ask how the payments will be arranged. Use a patent attorney that hires an independent professional patent searcher. An in-house searcher would provide a conflict of interest, leaning towards making the patent search more favorable. Trust you intuition and only choose an attorney who you feel understands your invention. Interview different attorneys until you have made your choice. You will be working with this individual for 2 to 3 years.
