Asked on Dec 08th, 2011 on Patents - California
More details to this question:
I was cheated out of over $10,430 by a company. They gave me a Faulty Patent Report by their attorney. This False Report caused me to sign a 2-Year Contract for over $9,000. At the end of the Contract they assigned me a Patent Attorney who secured my "Utility Patent" for around $3,462! Now I don't even know if my patent is valid?! I found several cases against this company online. Can a patent attorney help me?

Take a look at your report closely. Most of these reports are not worth the paper they are written on and have clauses embedded therein that say something to the effect that "They are not responsible for missed prior art in the searching".

You might go to the US patent office web site and see if the company is on a list of questionable invention development companies. There might be some information about the company and what actions you might be able to take.
