Legal Question in Intellectual Property in California
Patents
whom can I contact to help me to get a patent?
I have made something and tested it. I do not want anyone in the market to remake this or manufacture this without my permission. Can you help me?

Re: Patents
1. You create shop-quality drawings [usually done by a pro] demonstrating your device and its parts and how it differs from similar devices already in the markteplace and perhaps already patented.
2. You contact a patent examiner and have him research the "patentabilty" of your device.
3. If that checks out, you proceed with a patent attorney.
email us if you have further interest in this area.
