Q: Where do i go to discuss what i need for a US Patent.
Location best preferred
A:
You may start at the US Patent and Trademark Office website (USPTO. org) to get general information about patenting an invention. The next step would be to consult a Patent attorney who can guide you through the process and advise you based on the invention you wish to Patent. Sometimes it is worthwhile to do a patentability search and analysis before filing a patent application.
Much success!

There are many places on the internet (such as reddit) where you can discuss the patenting process, and the advantage/disadvantage of getting a patent for your business.
You do not need to worry about what you need to get for a patent. That will be the job of your patent attorney. What you should worry about is: will the patent help you get where you want to go? Will a patent make sense to your business? That is a business decision that you need to resolve.
To find out if it makes sense to get a patent, you should read the trade publications of your industry, or similar websites.
