Project Profile
- Flat Fee: $200
- Per Hour: $40–$60
We will generate a Project Profile to define your project based on your brief description (written or verbal) and rough sketches. This document will provide the foundation for your project, providing the information needed for designing and building a prototype, obtaining protection for your intellectual property (IP), and eventually pitching your project to investors.
- Project Profile
Prototype Design
- Flat Fee: $800
- Per Hour: $40–$90
We will use your Project Profile and whatever supporting documents you have (specifications, drawings, documents and parts list) to generate a detailed design for your prototype. The design will include specifications, mechanical/electronic drawings and software source code.
- Documents
- Drawings
- Source Code
Prototype Build
- Flat Fee: $1500
- Per Hour: $40–$70
We will use your Prototype Design to fabricate, assemble and test your prototype. Once you have had a chance to evaluate, test and approve the initial prototype, additional copies can be produced if needed.

Patent Search
- Flat Fee: $325
- Per Hour: $30–$135
We will use your Project Profile to conduct a worldwide search of registered patents, looking for content that is relevant to your idea. Based on the search results, we will generate a Legal Opinion that shows a comparison of your idea with others and a recommendation on whether or not you should prepare and file a patent application. If your project is novel but similar to prior art, we may recommend making some changes in order to improve your chances of success. This is a low cost but very important step, as it sets the stage for all subsequent work related to your project.

- Legal Opinion
Provisional Patent Application
- Flat Fee: $1200
- Per Hour: $60–$135
We will use your Project Profile, Prototype Design and Patent Search results to prepare and file a provisional patent application. This will include informal drawings and text that clearly describes your invention. Claims will not be defined in this document. You will receive a draft copy to review, edit and approve before we file it with the USPTO. Once filed, you will have one year to file a non-provisional patent application in order to claim the benefits of the provisional filing date.
- Draft Application (for review)
- Final Application

Non-Provisional Patent Application
- Flat Fee: $6200
- Per Hour: $60–$135
We will use your existing background information (e.g. Project Profile, Patent Search results, Provisional Patent Application) to prepare and file a non-provisional patent application. This will include a formal description, drawings, and claims relating to your project. Once filed and granted, the patent will provide up to 20 years of protection from its filing date. If a related provisional patent application was filed, the 20 years of protection will start from the provisional filing date.

Design Patent
- Flat Fee: $2700
- Per Hour: $60–$135
We will use your sketches and description to prepare and file a Design Patent application. The Design Patent protects the way your invention looks rather than how it works. You will receive a draft copy of the application to review and approve prior to filing. Once filed and granted, the patent will provide you with 15 years of protection from the filing date.
- Draft Application (for review)
- Final Application

Patent Prosecution
- Per Hour: $135
We will begin the prosecution of your non-provisional or design patent application after it has been filed and starts the review cycle in the patent office. Our prosecutor will defend your patent against causes for rejection presented by the patent inspector. This process typically involves several rounds of negotiations and potential changes to patent content before the patent is actually granted. This process is not always successful due to a number of factors.
- Correspondence with patent office
- Patent (if approved)
Trademark Search
- Flat Fee: $200
- Per Hour: $40–$60
We will conduct a search of trademarks registered with the USPTO, looking for content that is relevant to your request.

- Relevant Trademarks
- TM Search Report
Trademark Application
- Flat Fee: $450
- Per Hour: $40–$60
We will use the results of your trademark search to prepare and file a trademark application. Once granted, your trademark will be protected for at least 10 years starting from the filing date.

- Filing Receipt
- Trademark (if approved)
Copyright Search
- Flat Fee: $250
- Per Hour: $40–$135

Copyright Application
- Flat Fee: $500

- Draft Pitch Deck

Contract Preparation
- Per Hour: $130

PRICING GUIDELINES
1) We provide highly competitive pricing along with excellent service by using efficient resource allocation, matching each task with optimum talent and pay grade
2) Flat Fee pricing is based on average job variables (e.g. complexity, client content, lead time). Adjustments to the Flat Fee are made for jobs with requirements that fall below or above these guidelines. The amount of adjustment is calculated by using the variable hourly rates within the stated range.
3) Flat Fee prices do not include government filing fees. Since these fees vary for each application, final prices are determined by adding the appropriate filing fee to the Flat Fee.
