Claiming an Invention by Attorney

Once a client (usually an inventor) discloses an invention to an attorney, the challenge that the attorney faces is that the attorney usually must read and understand the invention's disclosure ...and identify which invention/s should be claimed. Making sure the claimed invention is novel, in view of prior art, and is significant enough to worth the expense of patenting the invention. If the attorney is going to do her/his job with confidence and quality then she/he must be thorough in understanding, evaluating the essence of the disclosure (e.g., what in essence has been invented) and drafting one or more claims that will stand the scrutiny of the patent examination. All these jobs are extremely difficult and demand enormous amount of resources (be it a wide expertise, time, money, and many consulting sessions) which are not available in reality.
