Because they're qualified if they have aviation patent experience. They would have aviation patent experience if they have clients. I want to license to those clients. It's kind of a Catch-22. The most qualified attorneys I can find easily (by Googing) are right out. At this point I think the best approach is to pair with an aviation engineer who has gone through all this... hence my comment here. It's by no means a simple situation. That said, I'm not really sure where I can find such engineers. I assume most of them are working with large companies and are not open to this sort of collaboration.
