Does the Patent Office help to select a patent attorney or agent to make patent search or to prepare and prosecute patent application?

No, Patent Office does not make any recommendations regarding selection of a patent agent. However, the applicant is free to appoint any patent agent from a list of patent agents maintained by the office. This list can also be viewed at Patent Office website.
