The USPTO under Dickinson has been trying to reach out to "Independent
Inventors". See the web page at
http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/iip/index.htm.
This is as good a place as any to refer small inventors to.

Subject: Need Advice for a Small Inventor - How to File a Patent
Hi,
I received a phone call from a small inventor. She said "Hi, I have an idea
about XXX. How do I file a patent?"
Does anyone have good advice as to where to send a small inventor who would
like to file a patent?
Is there a website with instructions/forms for small inventors?
Thanks,
Sandra
