Q: How much does a patent application cost?
A:
The cost of a patent application varies widely depending on the invention you seek to protect. A very simple design patent application might cost $500 - $1,000 to get on file. I've done very complex patent applications for telecommunications systems that have cost nearly $30,000. Moreover, after an application is filed, there are costs and fees incurred in pushing the application through the Patent Office. For a moderately complex invention, by the time the patent issues, an business may have $6,000 - $12,000 investing in the application, with those costs being spread out over a 2 - 4 year period.
