Solo engineer trying to file patent: Can I get useful legal help for ~$1-2k?
I'm a Silicon Valley engineer and I've developed a prototype for a computer peripheral. I don't know if it's patentable but it might be. I work a full-time job unrelated to this patent so I have more money than time right now and I'd like to pay to have someone help me determine if this idea is worth pursuing.
I'm looking for legal assistance at a cost of ~$1-2k to help me determine if the idea is patentable and to help write a patent.
Does anyone know if this amount of money could allow me to sit down with a professional in the field of technology IP and talk over the idea to determine which, if any, of the aspects are patentable and how to best approach writing the patent?
Any and all advice and perspectives are appreciated!
