Reduce Cost Of Patenting
Patent Attorney Mark Bergner provided the following five points that may help independent inventors control the cost of their patent application.
1) Provide me with the best write-up that you can up front with some illustrative (even hand-sketched) diagrams, along with any design documents you may have.
2) Try to do as much of the work as you can yourself.
3) Provide me with a nearly completed concept of the invention.
4) Answer any questions provided in a draft clearly and completely.
5) The costs of obtaining a patent, even a relatively complex one, pale in comparison to the costs you will encounter in trying to commercialize your product.
