Are there any free patent attorneys in Denver?
I have an idea for my own clothing designs, and I want to get them design off the ground as soon as possible.
However, the attorney's fees are just too expensive, and there are so many financial hoops the jump through at the U.S. Patent and Tradmark Office.
I just want to get my designs protected, and submit my designs to companies.
I know that I can't go through the InventHelp, or any other invention scumbags I see on television; becuase they will just rip me off, instead of pay me for my ideas.

If you think that your idea is worthy of patent protection and has the potential of becoming extremely profitable, you shouldn't be concerned with the costs of hiring a patent attorney or the costs of actually registering the patent. If your idea is such that you don't think it would be worth paying a patent attorney, then it probably isn't an idea that is worthy of patent protection in the first place.

Free Attorneys is an oxymoron!
As such I have a viable solution for you to consider!
Do you know about the Provisional Patent Application? It only costs $125 and was designed by Congress to give individual inventors a chance at bringing their inventive ideas to market easily. It is SUPER EASY to do..
To see the top 10 reasons to file a Provisional Patent Application please watch the second video in this blog.

If a provisional patent application looks like the right thing for you to do then take a look at another website that shows EXACTLY how to file one using a video format.

If you need to know how to get your product sold on TV or to Costco, or Home Depot, or Target and the like then you might also enjoy reading this information by the Ginsu Knife guy! It is pretty cool. He gives you all his contacts and personal email!
Of course you could ALSO just go to the US Patent Office and figure out how to file a patent yourself. Here is the link..

The flow chart there is pretty nice to give you an idea how to do what you want to do!
Their patent search is hard to use and you need special programs to look at the patents… Instead, consider using Google Patent Search!
Here is how you can use Google Patent Search to search for an "Oscillating inertial microbalance"
http://www.google.com/patents?id=M5GRAAAAEBAJ&pg=P...
Just type the term you want to search for in the search box. Play with MANY variants of your inventive idea.
Also, for a more global patent search look here:
http://worldwide.espacenet.com/advancedSearch?loca...
Remember... Patents are MOSTLY "Improvements" on other inventions.. So, while you may see something SIMILAR to your inventive idea it does not mean that you cannot patent your IMPROVEMENT.. Example... A tire is an IMPROVEMENT on a wagon wheel. A radial biased ply tire is an IMPROVEMENT on a non radial biased tire. There are over 10,000 patents on tires... Nearly every single one is an improvement!
And… a special gift for you is a sample Non Disclosure (also called an NDA) that you would have folks sign when you show them your inventive idea. You can change it up and use others but if you have NOTHING now it is a very good start written by my lawyer who charged me a TON for it!

For EXTRA credit take a look at getting a free website widget here. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING. Just use the FREE widget thing..
http://cbproads.com/refer.asp?id=50245 It will allow you to put adverts to eBooks on nearly ANY subject. If you had a store that sells horse blankets then you would include a widget that featured an eBook on how to stop horses from biting! You get 50% of whatever book folks buy. Pretty nice!
If you like my answer can you vote on it?
