A: You will need a patent attorney to run a patentability search on your foot cream. If your cream is novel, then the patent attorney can prepare and file the patent application for you with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Please call me if you wish to receive more information.

A: You should be able to. It of course depends on if similar products already exist or are patented.

Most of my practice is writing patents for formulations for personal health or cosmetic industry. If you need help, please let me know.
