At Lloyd & Mousilli, we understand that the patent prosecution process can often seem complex and overwhelming. Our team is dedicated to demystifying each step for our clients, providing clear guidance and support throughout the journey. We strive to make the process as seamless and straightforward as possible so you feel informed, confident, and empowered in securing patent protection.
This option is ideal for clients who are new to the patent process and want to gain a clear understanding of the steps involved, as well as receive expert guidance on their invention from an attorney. For a flat fee of $500, we offer a comprehensive review of your invention disclosure form (which we will provide to you to complete) followed by a one-on-one meeting with an attorney to discuss your invention and provide advice.
The fee will be credited towards any future services you choose to proceed with. Please note that if you decide not to move forward after the consultation, the fee compensates our team for their time and is non-refundable.
A Prior Art Search is a critical step in evaluating the novelty of your invention. For a flat fee of $1,500, our team will conduct a thorough search of existing patents and published materials to identify any prior art that may affect the patentability of your invention. This detailed search helps you understand the landscape of existing technologies and guides the next steps in your patent application process.
Our $1,500 fee includes a comprehensive report of the findings and a follow-up meeting with an attorney to help you interpret the results and form a strategy for the best path forward.
Our provisional patent application service is designed to help you secure a priority date with the USPTO at a lower initial cost. The fee for filing the provisional is $5,000, and it must be converted into a full patent application within one year. If our firm prepares the provisional, the cost to convert it to a non-provisional application is an additional $7,000. For provisional applications prepared by other firms, we apply standard application pricing for conversion. The timeline for filing the provisional is typically 4-6 weeks from when we receive your payment and invention disclosure.
Our cost for preparing a non provisional patent application is $12,000. This includes a thorough review of your invention, meetings with our attorneys, and the drafting of the application. The timeline for completing the preparation process is approximately 8 weeks, starting from when we receive your payment and invention disclosure.
Preliminary refusals from the USPTO are fairly common and must be responded to in order to avoid abandonment of the application. We typically advise that clients plan ahead and budget approximately $2,000 per response.
