How to Select a Patent Attorney

In today’s techno-savvy world, with the increase in new inventions and discoveries, the risk of fraud and idea copying has also increased. In order to prevent your ideas from being pirated or misused, it is essential to get them patented. There is no fixed list of the things that can be patented; anything which is unique and gives a new way of completing a task can be patented. When a property or a new technology has a patent on it, then no one can use it without taking prior permission from the owner.


Criteria you need to follow while choosing a  Patent Attorney.


The patent registration process can be challenging if you do not possess knowledge about the documentation required, technical issues that might occur and other clauses. It is better to hire an experienced Patent Attorney who can assist you in this procedure. The given bel; ow are some of the criteria you should take into consideration while making your decision about the attorney:


  1. Meet at least two or three attorneys 

Just like you visit three to four shops for buying your favourite dress in the same way, you should also meet at least three to four patent attorneys before finalizing the right one. This will help you make the right choice.


  1. Evaluate the attorney’s experience level

For a patent attorney having a good experience is very important for their career growth. As a client, you must ask them questions about their work experience. Finalize the one who has more experience and knowledge about the patents and their registration process.


  1. Get clarity about their fee structure.

The fee structure of an attorney is different for each one. Before finalizing the attorney, make sure you get a transparent fee structure from them and decide whether it is as per your budgetary constraints or not. Do not compromise skills and efficiency over cost.


  1. Do they possess the potential to handle objections?

As an attorney, your journey will not always be smooth. Sometimes you have to deal with challenging situations and still manage to help your client in getting what they want. While hiring an attorney, make sure they can handle objections during registration.
