Patent fees can get out of hand unless you structure a project intelligently from the beginning. We provide a patent-filing strategy that fits your means and goals. We help you determine what is commercially meaningful, what is worth spending money on, and what is not.

​

Our fees are always competitive. Most clients choose FIXED-FEE billing which ensures predictability. We can give you a fixed budget for a single filing or an entire patent cycle, including international filing, allowing you to confidently make commercial decisions. There is never any charge for calls or emails, admin etc.

​

We understand the patent system from the inside, and know how to use the various Patent Office fee discounts (academic and income-based) to your benefit. These can reduce USPTO filing fees by 75%.

​

To give you an example of actual costs, a simple patent application can be drafted and filed for as little as $3500 plus USPTO fees of about $455 for micro entity.  An international application can be filed for $1990 plus patent office fees.
