How much does it really cost to obtain a Patent?
Simply put, to obtain a patent is not an inexpensive endeavor. Although we can’t tell you exactly what it will cost because of the variations from application to application, we want to at least provide you and idea as to what it might cost. As you will see, the main variable is the Prosecution Fees. The Patent Drafting Strategy that we utilize is designed to both produce a patent that has true value, but also minimize the Prosecution Fees. Prosecution is the “back and forth” with the USPTO that can take place in getting your application allowed, and is what increases Prosecution Fees. We strive to minimize the Prosecution Fees. Design Patent Preparation and Filing of the Application: $750 – $1500 (Includes $220 in Govt.
