Pricing
Avoid the frustration of managing your intellectual property costs. The pricing structure below is an attempt to rectify the uncertainties associated with obtaining intellectual property protection.
An estimate for most services will be provided at an early stage of the process. If requested, a written quote will be provided after a full disclosure of the desired services has been provided (and other relevant information has been obtained). You will be charged the quoted price unless the description of the services changes (this includes modifications or additions to the invention itself). When possible you will be notified in writing that the description of the services has changed and how the quote has changed. Telephone conversations (including the initial call), meetings, and correspondence associated with a quoted service are generally included in the quote. Telephone conversations, meetings, and correspondence not specifically associated with a quoted service may be charged at my hourly rate.
Costs and fees from foreign associates, draftsmen, search agents, and other service providers with whom I associate will be passed on directly to you. Although you may be charged for my time associated with these projects, there will not be an additional surcharge.
Unless otherwise agreed upon, a retainer of half the estimated fee and all anticipated costs will be required for most projects. The remainder will be due upon completion of the project. (For example, a patent would be "complete" when I provide the final version of the application and the formal papers for your signature.)
The new patent application fee calculator can be used to calculate an estimate range including most fees for the filing of the patent application (but not subsequent fees). Please note that the estimates provided by the calculator must be confirmed before they may be relied upon.
