Estimated Timeline
Patent prosecution timelines vary significantly and depend entirely on the Patent Office's examination queue, the technology area, and how the application is prosecuted. This can range from a few years to longer, and outcomes are not guaranteed.
Government Fees
Government fees vary by applicant category (individual, startup, small entity, or large entity) and the type of application filed.
Professional Fees
Professional fees depend on the technical complexity of the invention and scope of drafting/prosecution work. Talk to an advisor for a scope-based quote.
Common risks and mistakes
- Public disclosure of the invention before filing, which can affect novelty
