FAQs
What does it cost me to work with Definitive Patents?
As a flat-fee patent firm, you are always in control of your budget. We are happy to meet with you to scope out a project (or series of projects!), and agree on a budget in advance. We only begin work once you agree on and fund a budget, and we will complete the work for the budget agreed in advance, regardless of how long it takes us. Schedule a complimentary introduction to discuss your project and receive a custom recommended scope and budget tailored to your business goals!
Can you handle our work?
As a member of Synchrony IP, we have access to not only cutting edge technology, but also a network of highly qualified professionals, including senior and partner level professionals. As an independent patent practitioner, I can give you personal attention without focusing on paying a central law firm overhead, while you benefit from the depth of resources and expertise otherwise available in a law firm.
