COSTS
Patents
A provisional patent application will cost between $4000 to $6000+ including GST to prepare, depending on the nature of the invention.
The initial draft is where the foundations are laid. It is advisable to ensure that the draft is as complete and as thoroughly prepared as possible. This quite often serves to dramatically reduce examination costs in each country in which you ultimately proceed. In some cases such costs can amount to several times the initial drafting cost.

You should choose a patent attorney who demonstrates a good interest in and an understanding of your invention. You should choose a patent attorney who is candid about the costs of the patenting procedure and has solid technical qualifications. Importantly, you should choose a patent attorney who shows an in depth attention to detail.
In our opinion it is advisable to meet with at least two patent attorneys from different firms before proceeding with a patent application. Please contact us to arrange a meeting.
