Common questions

Clear answers to help you move forward with confidence.

We typically file provisional patent applications within 5–10 business days of receiving complete information about your invention. For urgent matters, we offer expedited service that can compress this timeline further. Compare this to the industry standard of 4–8 weeks at traditional firms.
A provisional patent application establishes an early filing date and gives you 12 months to file a full (non-provisional) application. It's faster and less expensive to prepare, making it ideal for startups who need to establish priority quickly. The non-provisional is the complete application that gets examined by the USPTO and can result in an issued patent.
Our flat-fee trademark packages start at $750, which includes a comprehensive clearance search, application preparation, and filing. This covers a single class of goods or services. Additional classes and office action responses are quoted separately and upfront—no hourly billing surprises.
Patents protect inventions and functional innovations. Trademarks protect brand names, logos, and slogans. Copyrights protect creative works like software code, content, and designs. Most startups need a combination. We offer a free 30-minute consultation to help you identify which protections make sense for your business and stage.
Office actions are common and not cause for alarm. We respond to office actions with the same speed-first approach—typically within 2–3 weeks of receiving them, well within the USPTO's deadlines. Office action responses are quoted at flat fees, so you know the cost before we begin.
Yes. We handle PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) applications for international patent protection and Madrid Protocol filings for international trademarks. We also work with trusted associates in key jurisdictions when local counsel is required. International strategy is something we discuss during your initial consultation.
