On this episode of The Tech Law Hangout, host Jordan Becker discusses whether an inventor really needs a patent lawyer and how working with one can ensure the patent application is of the highest quality possible. We dive into factors that inventors need to consider before deciding whether to write the application themselves, use an invention help company, or engage a patent attorney. We also talk about what a patent application should look like, why the first answer from the Patent Office is likely to be "no," and why writing a patent is an art form.
"The quality of drafting a patent application can make the difference between your patent being worthless or worth hundreds of thousands of dollars." - Jordan Becker
