There are numerous costs involved in obtaining a patent.
- doing a preliminary search to determine whether you're wasting your time
- obtaining initial consultation with patent attorney
- drafting and filing provisional application (filing fees of $125 for individuals)
- drafting and filing non-provisional (starting at $190 filing fees, and perhaps several thousand dollars of attorney fees)
- search fees, examination fees, issuance fees, maintenance fees
- attorney fees for dealing with objections and rejections
- Patent Cooperation Treaty fees for each additional country
One can estimate that a simple patent in the USPTO may cost $5,000 or more and a complicated patent in many countries may exceed several hundred thousand dollars, and periodic fees must be paid in each country to keep the patent valid.
Enforcement of a patent rarely costs less than $500,000 and often many times that.
