From $5,995 (+ PTO fees)About utility patents
A utility patent protects a new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter — in short, how your invention works. It is the strongest form of patent protection available, and the claims we write determine exactly how much of your invention you own.
Because the scope of protection depends so heavily on how the application is drafted, every utility application we prepare is written by a registered patent practitioner. We strongly recommend a professional patentability search first, so the claims are drafted around what is genuinely new.
