VIII. For a Free Initial Consultation
with a Patent Attorney


We are happy to offer our clients a free initial consultation with a registered patent attorney, and offer additional free advice when additional "initial stage" questions crop up. This is in our interest as well as that of our clients: a large percentage of our business comes from people who want to carefully consider their situation before retaining a patent attorney and beginning the process of applying for patent, trademark, or copyright protection.

Ethical rules act to prevent any patent attorney from divulging confidential client materials, needless to say, this includes inventions, business plans and unpublished works. Thus, while you should normally consider your inventions and untested trademarks to be private until protection is applied for, asking questions of a patent attorney or patent agent is not a risk.

If you would like to arrange a free initial consultation, or merely would like to ask a question, feel free to call toll free 877-227-2371 (877-BARBER1) or 303-278-9973. E-mailing us with your name, telephone number, and a general statement of your question is another possibility, albeit slower at our end, less secure in the middle, and not permitting much in the way of give and take of ideas. You may also feel free to fax us at 303-278-9977. For our international clients, the country code of the United States is “1”.

Patent, trademark and copyright protection can be a valuable asset to those who act to protect their ideas.
