Flat-fee patent applications
A patent application
for a flat $4,000.
Inventor Assistance Foundation prepares patent applications for AI, software and software-implemented technology for a flat fee of $4,000 per application. The fee includes the claims, the first Office Action response and any restriction or election requirement.
Who it’s for
Founders, inventors
and technology companies.
The flat fee suits startup founders, independent inventors and growing technology businesses that want a patent to serve the business: protecting a product, supporting a licensing opportunity or strengthening a future transaction.
The $4,000 fee includes the first Office Action response and any restriction or election requirement on the application. Later Office Action responses are $1,500 each. Applicable USPTO fees and any third-party costs are separate, and the scope of your matter is agreed before work begins.
