A good source of general information is the U.S. patent office web site.  Here is a link with information on patents: "http://www.uspto.gov/main/patents.htm".  There is also patent information available on my firm`s web site: "http://www.ybpc.com".  I hope this gives you a good start point.

The patent office is a good place to start but the process is very complex.  Since you are, apparently, an engineer you will appreciate the chart in my personal web site http://www.nortontownsley.com/generic4.html  Other than that, you would be well advised to hire a professional, such as myself.  Even the patent office will tell you that.  Good luck.  Call me, if you want.
