A: I would be glad to help you with this (pending knowing your identity, in order to do a conflicts check). But the situation is more complicated than the limited information that you have presented, and it would not be appropriate to present more information in this forum. If you're interested in assistance, let's go offline.
A: You can find patent information online.
A:
It appears that you have filed a patent application on your own and have received an Official Action that rejects some or all of your claims.
As a matter of statistics, inventors in this situation cannot get meaningful protection without the help of a patent attorney. However, I have no knowledge of the facts in your case and do not know if the statistics apply to you.
It is understandable that you do not wish to incur the expense of engaging a patent attorney. But you may wish to consider whether the loss of protection on your invention would cost more than the attorney's fee.
I wish you the very best in your endeavor.
