Patent Protection

Patent Services & Flat-Fees

Patent Prosecution and IP Due Diligence | $450/hour

I've found that for small projects such as a quick prior art search or general patent law advice, charging in 10th-of-an-hour increments saves my clients money. For larger projects, I recommend taking advantage of my flat-fee services or requesting a hard-limit budget quote. I also offer payment plans for cash-strapped startups and entrepreneurs. Let's talk!
