Hi Jess, I’m working on a small invention that involves creating a physical object, but I have no experience in writing patents, nor do I have enough knowledge of mechanical engineering to do it.
I was thinking of getting a patent attorney but I’m not sure if they could give me advice on how to actually build my project, and I don’t know anyone…[Read more]

Hello, I have a small product, fairly simple one, that I would like to patent. Can anyone give me some advice about getting a patent lawyer, or if it’s worth getting one at all? I should mention that I have no experience in applying for a patent so I need all the help I can get. Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I’m preparing to apply for a patent here in the US and I was wondering how much I should expect to be waiting until everything is done. So how long does it usually take to have the application approved and reviewed? I’m aware it probably depends on a number of factors but maybe someone can give me a rough idea on what to expect.
Thanks.
