The US Patent Office would be a good starting place. https://www.uspto.gov/
Google Patents is another. www.google.com/patents
But be aware that searching both of those is very tricky and difficult. You have to be quite exact on the words you use to search.
You might ask legal zoom lawyers because they stay connected to the latest updates on websites. They do consulting as you go along I think.
@elbanditoroso and @Monterey
Where is the website the has all the images of whatever is patented?
@elbanditoroso The second link (google patents) doesn’t work for me it gives me a blank Google search page.
@elbanditoroso and @Monterey Thanks. I just gave you both GAs. That’s usually what happens, I’m usually rushing the first day of the responses.
I forgot to ask you @Monterey How about before contacting them.
