* The patentability search and opinion fees are based upon a typical patent search. The patent searches may be performed in-house or by an independent patent searcher depending upon availability - if you have a preference please indicate the same in writing when providing your retainer for the patentability search. For complex patent searches, we will provide you with a fee quote for performing the patentability search and opinion. For the Rush patentability search and opinion, the Invention
Recording Document and
full retainer must be received by at least 1 pm CST the previous
day. The patentability search opinion and top 3 search results
are e-mailed (PDF format) to client upon completion.
Note: The fees above are subject to change without notice (see http://www.neustel.com/fees.htm for updates and http://www.neustel.com/feeschedule.pdf for a more detailed listing of services) and do not include USPTO government filing fees,
subsequent prosecution fees, issue fees, maintenance fees, office
service fees or enforcement fees. Retainers are typically required before
performing services or making payments to the USPTO. We charge interest at 7.0% per annum for accounts past due for more than 30 days. We typically report all correspondence via e-mail, unless postal, fax or courier are expressly requested in writing (additional fees may apply).
