Answer: Under this flat-fee offer, rush service is included at no extra rush fee charge. So, you will get a very fast 4-7 day turn-time for your search report deliver. For example, if you submitted your search request to us today, you could have a legal opinion consultation by this time next week and know if your idea has been already taken/patented or not. Patent work usually will be completed within about 4 week from when we get your final patent disclosure submission. Under tight deadlines, we can complete and file patent applications within a week if need be. - How will I get my invention information to you?
Answer: After we receive your search request, we will send you a standard Search Questionnaire for you to complete and return in what ever manner is convenient to you. To download the Search Questionnaire Form CLICK HERE. - Do I have to meet with you in person?
Answer: No. The first step is normally to do the patent search, which only requires your search questionnaire form. If you are in Washington D.C. you can drop the form off at our office. We do all our patent search work at the US Patent Office (USPTO) in Washington D.C. because the absolutely best search system and database available is only located at the USPTO’s very sophisticated EAST system and database in DC, which is exactly the same system that the Patent Examiners use to find the “prior-art” the will base any rejection of your patent upon. Our being located next to the USPTO has major advantages.
