Patent Search

Before investing too much time and money on patenting your idea, you will want to see if anyone has already patented it. You may conduct the search yourself on the PTO website a (www.uspto.gov) or hire someone to do it for you. If you wish to hire a professional to do your patent search, consult the local yellow pages or again, search the PTO website for a roster of patent attorneys. Even if your Search is not as in-depth as that of a patent attorney or a patent agent, you may still find the
information that you need. You may also conduct your patent search at the Patent and Trademark Office Search Room.
