It depends a little on the field (cold fusion prior art search would be lots less), but if you're in chip design, energy storage, diamond synthesis - $10K will be your starting point cost.
- jacques_chester 8y agoYes, some subject areas cost a lot more. Supply and demand and legalese and whatnot.
- patentatt 8y agoThat’s a really good prior art search at $10k, more like ~$2k for a reasonable job
- ridgeguy 8y agoYes. It's the level of PA search you would do if you expected your patent to come up against a mega-entity like Google, Apple, Facebook, De Beers, etc. If your patent applications are mainly to check the IP box for investors, it would be more like the $2K you suggest.
