Practice Areas

We offer a range of intellectual property services summarized in the vertical navigation bar to the left, including patent preparation and prosecution as well as trademark filings. Please visit the drop-down pages for more information about each general service. Typical fees are estimated below, but may vary with different circumstances.

The fees shown below are subject to change at any time without notice, and do not include filing fees, issue fees, or maintenance fees with the USPTO, WIPO, or other international offices. The legal fees shown do not include subsequent prosecution fees. Most patent applications require that one or more office action responses be filed within three years of filing the application, for which practitioners charge extra as the responses become necessary. Add 40% for rush service to the fees shown below. Most patent applications require a patentability search. Patent applications can generally be completed within ten (10) days when rushed fees are paid. All legal fees are shown in U.S. dollars.
