Utility Patent Pricing


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


Step 1) Obtain Your Professional Patent Drawings and Attorney Consultation — $699
LegalZoom will connect you with an experienced patent professional who will help review and refine your invention information. You will also receive technical drawings for your invention, answers to your legal questions, and a complete patent assessment.

Services in the first step include:
  • Expert patent consultation and review by a registered patent attorney or agent
  • Top-quality patent drawings prepared by a professional patent illustrator (up to four pages)
  • Comprehensive search of prior patents with select attorney review (optional for $399)
No-Risk Advantage: If you decide not to pursue a patent after receiving your attorney assessment, there is no obligation to purchase the Patent Filing Package in the second step.


Step 2) Prepare and File Your Utility Patent Application — $2800
(includes government filing fees)
Work directly with an experienced patent professional to file your patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). To expedite the process, they'll use the information gathered from 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 Application, including 10 claims (up to three independent claims) and five pages of specifications
  • Preparation of Information Disclosure Statement
  • Electronic filing of your utility patent application with the USPTO and payment of initial filing fees


Enhanced Patent Preparation Option: Add $1000

When ordering the Patent Filing Package, you will have the option to select the Enhanced Package to include additional patent claims. This package includes:
  • Up to 15 claims prepared by an expert patent professional
  • Up to eight pages of patent specifications

Patent attorneys are some of the most expensive in the country. LegalZoom can save you thousands of dollars in the patent process.
