Choosing a patent attorney is a very important decision as you will be constantly working with him/her during the course of your patent filing and patent examination (patent prosecution). A lot of variables should be taken into account, but most importantly is the relationship and if you can see yourself working with him/her for a few years down the road. A few important items that come to mind are:
- The patent attorney should have broad experience in working with various types of inventions and technologies. For example, I have worked on patent applications from simple consumer products to complex electrical and biomedical systems.
- The patent attorney should have independent reviews and references from current or former clients on their word product. For example, I have independent reviews on Avvo.com
- The patent attorney should be able to accessible and communicate with you freely. For example, I give my clients my cell phone number and they can reach me at any time.
- The patent attorney should be local, such as a patent attorneys in Dallas, so that you can meet with him/her in person.
