Fixed Fee Patent Packages
MACY & PETERS FIXED-FEE MODEL
We routinely prepare and file patent and trademark applications for fixed fees. When a potential client contacts us to inquire about protecting an invention, we arrange a complimentary meeting by phone or in person to speak about the matter. We often provide the potential client with an invention disclosure form to assist the inventor in collecting his or her thoughts and notes regarding the invention. Through our conversations with the potential client, and any information collected through the invention disclosure form, we are able to evaluate the scope of the invention and provide various strategies for protecting the invention. At this point, the potential client is able to choose the course of action most appropriate for the circumstances and budget. All of Macy & Peter's services through this stage are without charge and without obligation.
When a client is interested in moving forward, we then provide our engagement letter and a corresponding fee agreement. Our fee agreement is a fixed fee agreement that specifically identifies the scope of the matter and the fees due for the matter. The fee is determined based on the type of application and complexity of the project. In the case of a patent application, the fixed fee includes all of our time for preparing and filing the application as well as any meetings, phone calls, emails, etc. related to the preparation and filing of the application. There are no hidden fees or creeping estimates.
