Answer:
If you are involved with a company that is manufacturing products
or processes in a very complicated and specialized filed, such as
nanotechnology, biomedicine, pharmaceuticals or chemicals, or may
otherwise require a Ph.D. to understand, then we are not the firm
for you. If your company spends millions of dollars in R&D and
patent work, then you should keep your current counsel. The services
you get from topnotch law firms can't be matched by us, since we
do not have any Ph.D.'s on staff, nor do we plan to. You don't want
to risk a $100,000,000 R&D budget (or even a $500,000 budge)
on a patent written by engineers who may not specialize in your
specific, narrow field.
Having said that, however, there are a lot of independent
inventors and even small businesses that just cannot afford to spend
$10,000+ on patents. Frankly, if that's the position you're in,
you're going to need to save as much capital as possible for marketing
and distribution (arguably the most difficult aspects of the inventing
process). That doesn't mean the patent you'd get from us is of lower
quality... please, check out our sample patents
to see the quality of work we do.
That also doesn't mean that if you spent $10,000,
or even $5,000 with a patent attorney you wouldn't get a more thorough
and detailed patent. You very well might. But will you need that
level of detail? If you think so, then by all means, please use
the expensive attorney. But if you want to be "patent pending"
for the least amount of money and still get an excellent patent
application out of it, then we're your firm.
Patents are somewhat like insurance. You can get the
expensive policy that covers everything, or you can get a basic
policy that protects you, but may not have all of the bells and
whistles that are possible. For example, we may not go into great
detail about 20 different embodiments, and we'll certainly not go
over the 20 claims that the standard filing fee covers with the
patent office (except in exceptional circumstances or for additional
fees, which we'll quote in advance). Our patents tend to be between
12 and 20 pages. Anything more than that, and we have to start charging
extra. If you have a patent that has many different embodiments
or configurations, all of which need to be shown or described, we
may not be able to help you efficiently. But have a look at our
samples patents to see what type of work
we do and how we do it, and then decide if that works for you.
