"You have come up with a great idea and you think you have an invention, and you are considering patenting it. But you do not know how to conduct a patent search. Hello, I am Robert Todd, and I am here to answer the question, how do you conduct a patent search. Well the first thing that you may want to consider is hiring someone that is specialized in that area. It is a very specialized area dealing with patents, copyrights, and trademarks, and if you do not do things correctly, you can actually make things worse for you in the long run. So if you are serious about a patent search, you may want to consider hiring either a patent attorney, a patent agent, or a patent searcher. Patent agents and patent attorneys are actually licensed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, so you have some level of their qualifications that you are going to be dealing with someone who knows what they are doing. A patent searcher can be found by looking through your Yellow Pages. But again, this is an area of the law that is very complex, and we would recommend that you hire someone specialized in this area. I am Robert Todd, and thank you for watching."
