Representative Fees

We offer competitive fees while striving to provide high-quality services. In many cases, we offer clients fixed fees for various matters to help clients keep control of patent-related legal costs.

Our service fees listed below are typical fees for subject matter of ordinary complexity, and do not include government-imposed fees (such as filing fees or extension fees). These fees are not intended as having "one-size-fits-all" applicability, as individual cases do differ in, e.g., complexity, number of embodiments involved, and ultimately the amount of time required for conducting due diligence and rendering a high-quality service. We reserve our right to change our fees without notice and negotiate mutually acceptable fees for matters of unusual complexity.

* Final fee for preparing a provisional or non-provisional utility application depends on the complexity of your invention disclosure, the number of embodiments to be included, the number of claims to be drafted, and the quality and the amount of descriptions that you provide.

** An ordinary IDS lists no more than ten references, of which no greater than five are non-patent literature or foreign patent references (copies of which, per USPTO rules, are required to be submitted with the IDS).
