Utility Patent Pricing


LegalZoom's technology and our provider law firm's experience make it possible to offer complete patent services for a fraction of the typical cost.


Step 1) Obtain Patent Search, Initial Consultation and Assessment—$749
LegalZoom will first conduct a comprehensive search for prior patents. Then, an experienced patent professional will review your invention, answer your legal questions, suggest improvements and provide you a written summary.

Services in the first step include:
  • Comprehensive search for prior patents
  • Expert patent consultation and review by a registered patent attorney or agent
No-Risk Advantage: If after reviewing your search results you decide not to pursue a patent, there is no obligation to purchase the Patent Filing Package in the second step.


Step 2) Purchase Patent Filing Package—$3788
(includes government filing fees)
Work directly with an experienced patent professional to complete your patent filing. To expedite the process, they'll use the information gathered in LegalZoom's online questionnaire in preparing your patent application, saving you time and money.

Services in the second step include:
  • Expert preparation and drafting of a non-provisional Utility Patent, including 10 claims (up to three independent claims) and four pages of specifications
  • Professional technical illustrations of your invention (up to three pages)
  • Preparation of Information Disclosure Statement
  • Electronic filing of your utility patent and payment of government filing fees
You save $5450 or more with LegalZoom
Hiring a traditional patent attorney to prepare and file a utility patent would typically cost you $10,000 or more in hourly fees.

Enhanced Patent Preparation Option: Add $1887

When you purchase the Patent Filing Package, you'll have the option of purchasing the Enhanced Package to make additional patent claims. This package includes:
  • Up to 15 claims prepared by an expert patent professional
  • Up to seven pages of patent specifications

Patent attorneys typically charge $600/hour. Through this special arrangement with LegalZoom, you save thousands of dollars on expert patent services.
