How much is earned from a patent?

Answer 1

If by "register a patent" you mean "have a patent issued", the costs vary widely. Elements of the cost include: #complexity of the invention #what type of invention it is #how broad or narrow is the field of invention #whether the field is crowded or you're a pioneer #number of countries where protection is desired #how many rejections are received during handling #other procedural nightmares (interferences, etc) #how many patents you get issued from one application #how long you intend to enforce them One of the more expensive things is drafting the application, and it must be done carefully and professionally.

Answer 2

This is a variable, a patent is just the right you can receive to be the sole person allowed to produce a product you invented. So this means that if you create a new product, and then patent it, nobody else will be able to sell that product, meaning you will be the person who customers go to to buy it.

Therefore the value of the patent depends on the value of the product. If you have a really good product, a patent will essentially increase the value a lot. But if you have a bad product, the patent will be a waste, as nobody wants t buy it anyway, and therefore nobody will bother trying to copy the product.

For your information, patents are granted by the state for a '''limited period''', and must not conflict with previously granted patents.

Answer 3

In the USA you can file a "provisional application" for $125, giving you patent pending for up to a year, during which time you would have to file a non-provisional application to pursue having a patent actually issued.

It may be worth a few hundred dollars to have a patent attorney review your provisional application for any potentially fatal mistakes prior to filing it.

Answer 4

In order to file a patent, a person can either complete the necessary paperwork and file it, or one may choose to hire a patent attorney. To file the patent without a lawyer, the cost is a few hundred dollars. If one chooses to have the attorney handle the paperwork, the cost will be somewhere between $5000 and $10000, and much of this expense will be due to the high hourly rate charged by attorneys.

Answer 5

The price of a patent is very hard to estimate. It depends on which country you live in, on how complex the patent is and on the technology involved. Example (USA): A basic (utility) patent application fee is 280 dollar. A general rule is that you get what you pay for. Attorney fees (for a "simple" invention) might end up being 5000-7000 dollar. It is possible to get a patent without an attorney, though. The US Patent and Trademark Office has more information.
