No. As patent agents, we have an ethical obligation to keep confidential any information you give us about your invention. While this is not the same as a legal privilege that you might have in discussions with a lawyer acting as a lawyer, it means that disclosing your invention to us will not be treated as a public disclosure that might make any patent we prepare for you invalid. Incidentally, even if you work with a patent agent who is a lawyer (and our personnel are lawyers, just not practicing as lawyers), if all the lawyer is doing for you is preparing a patent application, your discussions with him or her may not be privileged anyway.
