I. Considerations When Selecting a Patent Attorney.

A. The Goal -

The goal is to obtain a patent with valuable, broad claim scope. You want a patent potentially worth millions - not a worthless piece of paper framed on your wall collecting dust. Obtaining a patent is not an exercise in negotiating a “middle ground” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), and certainly not in unnecessarily conceding every argument to the USPTO and leaving valuable claim scope, and market potential, behind.
