: : I have heard that attorneys with litigation experience tend to draft better patents. I would assume that these people also charge you more for claim drafting than someone who is horrible in the court room/negotiations. How do you know when to pay up for the high price attys? : : : : : : What kind of hourly attorney fees does one typically pay for a patent from a reputible firm (assuming the patent is for computer/IC/software)? : : : : : : In New York probably $250 and up.
