- One thing that I would suggest is that you may want to consult
- a patent attorney about writing the claims for your patent
- application. If the claims are written improperly you will
- either get rejected in your application, or you will end up
- with a patent that is worthless. I used to be a patent examiner
- and most of the people who filed there own applications tended
- to have poorly written claims.
