The detailed life of a Patent Examiner.

"Sometimes I'm the judge and jury," says Patrick Nolan, an eager man presiding over 175 different claims for the advancement of civilization. But that is not the real pleasure of judging invention, he says. "I get to see things before they happen."

Thanks for the article. There are several patent attorneys and patent agents on FR. Maybe some patent examiners, too.

Recommendations?

Yes, send me a detailed description of your invention and any drawings. I will take it from there. :-)

No recommendation except try to find a patent attorney whose office is reasonably near you. Ask your family attorney, he may know of someone and be able to refer you. Steer clear of those patent investment companies who advertise nationally, most attorneys have enough business by word of mouth and the yellow pages.

The patent office today is a joke (like every other federal agency after Bubba).

Recall the thread a couple months ago about the boy who patented

A New Method for Swinging on a Swing.

I hold over a dozen legitimate patents and have seen numerous patents granted for inventions essentially identical to mine but that were filed ten years later.
