Fees
We are focused on providing high-quality patent application and patent prosecution services at a reasonable and predictable cost.
Most of our fees are governed by our standard fixed or capped fee schedule, and if desired we will always offer a fixed-fee quote in matters where the scope of an engagement is not covered by our standard schedule.

Many high-priced patent attorneys or patent law firms offer fixed prices for simple patent applications, but will not have a published fee schedule for more complex inventions, or only offer high hourly rates for patent prosecution. At IDP Patent Services we aim to ensure that all services are provided under a fixed or capped fee schedule.
