In working with 1000's of inventors for over 10 years the first thing i can tell you is, Every inventor thinks their idea Is Great ! It's Revolutionary ! & There is nothing out there like it ! This However is 99% of the time....
Is Not The Case....

      The second thing I can tell you about inventors is they never want to hear that their invention is just plain BAD.All Patent Attorneys and Agents know these 2 facts, and use it to their advantage and often avoid giving honest opinions pertaining to an inventions true potential.

      There are many sharks in the water that instead of Honestly and Ethically discouraging a potential 10 - 25 THOUSAND DOLLAR CLIENT, will offer "design help", "improvements to make an idea more patentable", "additional claims" or just write a patent with a narrow and pretty much worthless scope of protection, to keep their client interested.

      Patenting Is a lot like buying a used car. The wise man knows not to simply take the salesman's word on it's quality and value, He hires a good mechanic to check it out first.
