A Different Way
Before you pay a lot of money to file a provisional or non-provisional patent, you need to be certain that it makes sense. Others will be happy to take your money even if it is ill advised. With Robert Brownstein & Associates (RB&A), you risk no more than $250 to get an answer to whether it makes sense or not.
If it does make sense, is it worth $8,000 to $15,000 to file one? Most of our patent filings average $2,500 all inclusive of search, drawings, specifications, filing documentation and electronic filing.
​
Is it a case of you get what you pay for? When a filed non-provisional patent is examined, 96 percent of the time, all claims are rejected. During prosecution (e.g. responding to those rejections), a patent practitioner has to think and act strategically. With over 14 years of patenting, and more than 300 patents filed, RB&A has managed to achieve over 95 percent allowance/issue success. The industry average is less than 50 percent. This is where the rubber meets the road.
​
Many RB&A clients are individual inventors and startup companies. In addition to patent expertise, RB&A offers product definition and marketing insight as a value-added option.
