: : : Could anyone give me an idea of the cost of getting a professional patent lawyer to file for a patent for a business method related to e-commerce. : : : I would like to know the total cost and if you could also give an idea of how long the process is from initial contact to law firm untill the patent is filed. : : : Thanks in advance : Dear Mr. Khouri, : The cost even with the scam artist that advertise patents will be several thousand dollars. It usually takes about three years before the patent issues. : It is a fools paradise to think that just getting a patent is what you need. What may look good may still not be good or give the protection that you need. : We start with a Reality Check™ to save time money and worry, even before a patent search. There are times when even though what you have may be patentable that a patent search may be a waste of money, let alone a patent. : M.
