Description

The patent process takes time and is complex. A patent application is much more than filling out a set of forms. Patent applications are usually greater than 10 pages in length. The first official step is to file a patent application within a specific country or internationally with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) reserving the right for future entry into over 140 different countries including Canada and USA. From the time of filing an application to receiving a patent can be at least 3 years, and often requires extensive written and/or verbal communications with Canadian patent examiners as well as examiners in other designated patent jurisdictions. Thus, predicting a cost for the entire patent process is impossible due to the complexity and time span involved.
PatentAxis Inc. can provide fixed cost estimates for each stage of the patent process. Clients that choose this option are provided with an assurance as to the cost for a specific stage prior to initiation of any work. Fees vary depending on technology area of an invention and patent filing strategy.
