Your first step is to conduct a prior art search, as I mentioned before in the previous blog posts. This is the basic first step because you need to see what other patents have been filed, and just to get a better sense of what is happening in the realm of patents for the specific industry/topic you are focusing on.
The biggest takeaway to starting your search is that the regular "search bar" on whatever search engine you are on (Google, Bing, etc.) will NOT give you the results you need. You must go to a patent tailored search engine (Espacenet, Google Patents) and then go from there!
Please find below a great tutorial for you on a good patent search & my own thoughts on this topic:
