Why hire a Patent Attorney?

Patent attorneys are highly experienced legal professionals who can provide valuable expertise in patent law. They can help with:
Drafting and prosecuting patent applications
Conducting prior art searches
Navigating legal requirements
Maximizing the chances of obtaining a strong and enforceable patent
Identifying what intellectual property (IP) assets a company has and advising on how to protect them
Negotiating licenses and other agreements
Advising on whether your invention is patentable
Advising on whether to file a provisional or non-provisional patent
Ensuring that your patent application accurately and fully describes your invention
Providing guidance on how to protect your intellectual property from infringement
Providing counsel on patent strategy, enforcement, and defense
The USPTO recommends using an attorney or registered agent for preparing a patent application and conducting the proceedings in the USPTO. However, you are not required to use an attorney or registered agent to file a patent application.

Some potential risks of preparing and filing a patent application yourself include:
Making costly mistakes that result in the loss of some or all of your patent rights
