Each year thousands of new consumer products are offered in the marketplace, many of them developed by individual inventors. They generally include mechanical and electrical components which most often require the expertise and experience of a patent attorney to ensure sound design and protection.

Its design should minimize manufacturing costs, be eye-catching and functional, and operate to maximize durability. Patent Attorney P.
