About this listen

What does it actually cost to get a patent? Not the advertised number from patent mills. The real, complete cost.

Patent attorney Julie King breaks down typical expenses you'll encounter in the patent process, from initial searches to maintenance fees, and why that $25,000+ budget for a US patent isn't a scare tactic; it's reality.

You'll learn:

  • How long it takes at a minimum to get a patent (probably much longer than you think)
  • What a professional patentability search actually costs
  • What properly drafted applications cost
  • What Office Actions are, why you'll probably get at least one, and why they cost money to handle properly
  • Other costs to consider, like freedom-to-operate searches, international filing, and maintenance fees you'll pay after your patent is granted
  • When the investment is absolutely worth it

This is the reality check every inventor needs before spending a single dollar on patent protection.

Avoid the legal horrors, and keep rocking your IP.
