Government patent office fees are paid by you directly to the patent office and are not included above.

A typical patent attorney firm charges $8,000–$15,000 for a single utility patent application. That price reflects central city offices, partner profit margins, layers of administration, and the overhead of running a large organisation. The work often passes through multiple hands — a junior associate drafts, a senior associate reviews, a partner signs off. You’re paying for the hierarchy, the building, and the brand name. At Alexander IP, the specialist who understands your invention is the same person who drafts your claims, responds to office actions, and advises on strategy. There are no handoffs, no juniors, no middlemen. The quality comes from rigorous Legal 500 training and 10 years of high-volume practice. The lower pricing comes from a business model with virtually zero overhead — not from cutting corners on the work itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your invention is purely mechanical with few moving parts, choose Simple. If it involves electronics but no software, choose Mid-Tier. If it involves software, AI, or advanced chemistry/biology, choose Complex. Not sure? Book a consultation and we'll advise.
We cover all major jurisdictions: US (USPTO), UK (UKIPO), Europe (EPO), Canada (CIPO), Australia (IP Australia), and international PCT applications. For other countries, we can coordinate national phase entry.
Rush options are available at 30, 21, 14, or 7-day timelines with increasing surcharges. The 7-day option is +100% of the base price. See the delivery timeline options on this page for exact pricing. You must specify a target date — 'ASAP' is not accepted.
