The volunteer attorney must clear any conflicts with his or her own firm before accepting your case. In exchange, the volunteer attorney must keep all discussions about your invention confidential and abide by ethical rules of conduct.

There are numerous resources available that can help an individual patent applicant file a patent application properly and respond to examiners.</p>\n<p>The USPTO for example has a <a href=\"https://www.uspto.gov/patents/basics/using-legal-services/pro-se-assistance-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pro Se Assistance Program</a> which is designed to help small business owners and financially under-resourced inventors. The program was created by the USPTO and is administered by the <a href=\"https://calawyers.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Lawyers Association</a>. The program helps individuals and small businesses file patent applications pro bono, and offers information about its services.</p>\n<p>Pro Se patent filing assistance in Carlsbad can be beneficial for applicants who are not comfortable filing a patent application themselves. However, the process is extremely complex, with a number of laws, regulations, and policies. For this reason, it’s important to work with a licensed patent attorney.</p>\n<p>Many law schools, San Diego Public Library branches, and other organizations provide free legal help for those who are interested in learning how to file a patent application.</p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6895\" src=\"https://inventivs.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/david-hahn-bB7GmZRFavs-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://wp.inventiv.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/david-hahn-bB7GmZRFavs-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://wp.inventiv.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/david-hahn-bB7GmZRFavs-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https://wp.inventiv.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/david-hahn-bB7GmZRFavs-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https://wp.inventiv.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/david-hahn-bB7GmZRFavs-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://wp.inventiv.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/david-hahn-bB7GmZRFavs-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" /></p>\n<h5><em>Image Credit: Unsplash</em></h5>\n<h2>Thomas Jefferson School of Law</h2>\n<p>If you’re an inventor or business owner and need patent filing assistance, you can turn to the <a href=\"https://www.tjsl.edu/clinics/patent-clinic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">patent clinic at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law</a>.
