Hi there!

Is the patent attorney handling my patent application responsible for technical accuracy and completeness? What kind of responsibility does the attorney have in the application process in general?

Al too often we see patents in litigation where the inventor has left the technical details to the patent attorney. This is a mistake. Read the patent very carefully, do not assume that your attorney is correct or accurate. Do not assume that a Court or a jury reading the patent 15 years later will fill in the missing details. They may be clearly implied to you, but they will be completely unknown to other. Read carefully fill in the details and the missing pieces.
