Patents are a secret process. If someone gets your information while the patent is pending, they can steal your idea. The US patent office can give you information. www.uspto.gov/products/catalog/patent_services/index.jsp
You can do some of the preliminary work on your own, by accessing an online patent database, like the one at U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO). If you're really serious about it, though, you'll want to enlist the help of a patent attorney. The whole thing will cost between $750-$2000, to hire the attorney and get your patent.

A patent search is the procedure of verifying existing patents to see if an invention is novel before a patent application. In India, you can perform an Indian patent search online for published and granted patents. The Indian patent search by name provides users with the facility to verify patents filed under a given applicant or inventor. You may also verify the Indian patent search status for notices on applications. Most platforms provide Indian patent search tools for public access. More Info: corpbiz.io/indian-patent-search
A patent is active for its duration (generally counted as 20 years from its date of filing -- i.e., it's priority date), assuming all post-issuance fees have been paid. You can check with the patent office in the country where the patent was issued to determine its status in that country.
If it is a U.S. patent, you can go to the USPTO website for patent searches and enter the number in "patent number search". You can obtain the online image of nearly any US patent ever issued (using TIFF format). If you do not know the patent number, you may have to go elsewhere for more information, as the USPTO database prior to 1976 cannot be searched by anything other than the patent number. http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html
