How much should you pay for a patent attorney to file a patent application? Get more out of your patenting dollars with complete service packages at flat fees:
Value-Added Service Packages!
As part of our mission to add as much value to my clients’ businesses as possible and turn clients into raving fans, we created a unique patenting process specially designed to help inventors get the highest level of service while staying within their budget. Since your patent is the primary tool you 
will rely on to monetize your ideas, one of the most important business decisions you can make is to collaborate with a patent attorney who will devote the necessary time, enthusiasm, and creative thought in drafting your patent application. Whereas many large patent law firms are focused on getting clients in the door, generating the minimum-quality product that will satisfy them, and sending them on their way, we give individualized care and attention to each and every inventor and invention, which we believe is an essential ingredient for the successful growth of every IP-based startup.
If price is your only concern, you can easily find services on Google offering to draft your provisional patent application for under 100 bucks or your nonprovisional application for under $1,000, but applications from these high-volume “vending machines” often aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. When it comes to protecting the ideas that are the very foundation of your entire business, the old maxim is particularly true: you get what you pay for. But that is not to say you must go broke over the cost of a patent before even launching your new product. We realize that the new economy demands that the invention process occur on a budget, so we created the following value-added service packages for you to chose from, each designed to help inventors get the most mileage out of their legal budget:
Patent Pending Package!
The “Patent Pending Package” includes:
- An Initial Invention Assessment:
Here, I provide you with my initial thoughts and impressions regarding your invention and how a provisional application for patent might serve as a useful tool in your business for monetizing your ideas.
- A Patent Application Info Building Meeting:
A conference by telephone, Skype, FaceTime, Google Hangout, or in person, in which the inventor and I collaborate to develop an extensive description of the all aspects and details of the invention, which lays the groundwork for the building of a comprehensive provisional patent application.
- A “Ready-To-Be-Converted” Provisional Patent Application:
Whereas provisionals drafted by other patent attorneys or agents at seemingly good prices often are nothing more than a bare-bones invention description, we provide you with a USPTO patent-quality application, meaning it includes all the “bells and whistles” of a nonprovisional patent application except the claims. This allows you to have your provisional “converted” to a nonprovisional by simply adding claims, which avoids the need to have an entire new application drafted when the time comes. This will save you a substantial amount of money, even if you decide to have your nonprovisional drafted by another firm. It’s part of our commitment to adding value any way we can.
An Inventor Satisfaction Meeting:
A post-drafting conference by telephone, Skype, FaceTime, Google Hangout, or in person, held after the inventor has had a chance to review the drafted provisional application, in which the inventor and I discuss the contents of the application, as well as any potentially desired additions or modifications.
- An Inventor Input Revision:
A final revision of the application to incorporate the inventor’s suggestions discussed in the Inventor Satisfaction Meeting (if any).
- Filing:
Filing of the provisional patent application at the USPTO (government fees not included in quoted package price).
- Inventor Planning Alerts:
Email or telephone notifications of upcoming filing deadlines so you can focus on growing your business worry-free without missing that all-important nonprovisional filing date!
- Ongoing Invention Monetization Advice:
As part of our commitment to your ultimate success in monetizing your ideas, we provide you with ongoing communications designed to keep your momentum going, educate you, and help you take your invention and your business to the next level. We include this service as part of our value-added service packages at no additional fee.
- Optional Add-Ons:
- Prior Art Search
- Invalidity Search
- Freedom To Operate Opinion
Patent Pending Package: starts at $2,000

*Government fees and drawing costs are not included in the quoted package price. For complex inventions, the price may be substantially higher. Additional revisions, as well as optional add-ons will increase the package price accordingly.
Professional Protection Package!
The “Professional Protection Package” includes:
- An Initial Invention Assessment:
Here, I provide you with my initial thoughts and impressions regarding your invention and how a patent might serve as a useful tool in your business for monetizing your ideas.
- A Patent Application Info Building Meeting:
A conference by telephone, Skype, FaceTime, Google Hangout, or in person, in which the inventor and I collaborate to develop an extensive description of the all aspects and details of the invention, which lays the groundwork for the building of a comprehensive nonprovisional patent application. If “converting” a provisional into a nonprovisional (i.e., drafting a nonprovisional based on an already existing provisional), this meeting will include a discussion of any changes, enhancements, or additional embodiments that you may have conceived since the filing of your provisional, and a detailed cooperative review of your invention and potential uses of it to enable your invention to be claimed in the most comprehensive and valuable way possible.
- An “Ironclad” Nonprovisional Patent Application:
A nonprovisional application must be filed in order to be granted a patent. Since your patent claims are what define the scope of your patent protection (i.e., how many variations and uses of your invention are covered by your patent), having an air-tight nonprovisional drafted by an attorney who devotes the necessary time, enthusiasm, and creativity to thinking about your invention before drafting the claims is an absolute must! We provide you with a USPTO patent-quality nonprovisional application, meaning it includes everything you would expect to see in a USPTO granted patent drafted by the largest patent law firms. If you have not already filed a provisional application, filing this nonprovisional application will enable you to claim “patent pending” status as of the day it is filed.
- An Inventor Satisfaction Meeting:
A post-drafting conference by telephone, Skype, FaceTime, Google Hangout, or in person, held after the inventor has had a chance to review the drafted nonprovisional application, in which the inventor and I discuss the contents of the application, as well as any potentially desired additions or modifications.
- An Inventor Input Revision:
A final revision of the application to incorporate the inventor’s suggestions discussed in the Inventor Satisfaction Meeting (if any).
- Filing:
Filing of the nonprovisional patent application at the USPTO (government fees not included in quoted package price).
- Inventor Planning Alerts:
Email or telephone notifications of upcoming deadlines regarding the prosecution of your patent application, issuance, and patent maintenance fees, so you can focus on growing your business worry-free!
- Ongoing Invention Monetization Advice:
As part of our commitment to your ultimate success in monetizing your ideas, we provide you with ongoing communications designed to keep your momentum going, educate you, and help you take your invention and your business to the next level. We include this service as part of our value-added service packages at no additional fee.
