: Are there any patent attorneys out there who can summarize for me what a patent attorney's duties are in causing a patent to be filed for a client? Specifically, I'm interested in knowing if it is possible to disclose too much information on the application thereby rendering the invention "unprotected" -- is it a balancing act so to speak, disclosing just enough info to get the patent, but retaining some information so as to prevent others from using the technology w/o prior approval from the patent holder?

Hi Jami,
A patent lawyer, if he does what he is supposed to, earns his money. It is a very long, legal paper-trail.
You must receive a signed Non-disclosure agreement from ANY lawyer or patent agency before disclosing your idea. Please refre to Matt Moore's question for some more information.
Good luck!!!!!
