Patent law is federal — your attorney does not need to be physically located in Boston to represent you before the USPTO. PatentAttorney.com serves Boston clients with the same depth of expertise as any local firm, with the added advantage of serving inventors and companies across all 50 states. What matters is your attorney’s USPTO registration and technical depth, not their zip code.
We have deep experience in the industries that define Boston’s innovation economy: biotechnology, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, artificial intelligence, robotics, cleantech, telecommunications, and software. Our attorneys hold technical degrees — not just law degrees — in these fields, which translates directly to stronger, more defensible patent claims for your inventions.
A patent attorney helps inventors protect their ideas by drafting and filing patent applications, conducting prior art searches, responding to USPTO office actions as part of the examination process, and handling patent disputes. They hold both a law degree and a technical background, and are certified by both a State Bar and directly by the USPTO — allowing them to navigate both the legal and scientific aspects of the patent process.
Costs vary based on the complexity of your invention and the type of service required. A patent search is generally the most affordable entry point. Provisional applications cost less than full non-provisional applications. Litigation and PTAB proceedings carry the highest fees due to the complexity involved. We provide transparent, itemized estimates during your free initial consultation — before you commit to anything.
The “standard” patent application is called a non-provisional utility application, and will cover an invention or closely related group of inventions, such as a new product and a method of using the new product. Related to these are provisional utility applications, which are low-cost, informal, and non-examined placeholders which allow patent applicants another 12 months to file a non-provisional application, which then can be fully examined and can lead to an issued patent. Another type of patent application is the design application, which is used to instead pursue a design patent, protecting a specific ornamental design (which can range from the shape of a sneaker to a graphical user interface icon design).
You can file a patent application without an attorney (called filing “pro se”), but patent applications require precise legal and technical language. Errors or vague claims can result in a weak patent, delayed approval, or outright rejection — leaving your invention exposed to competitors who file similar applications. An experienced patent attorney substantially improves both the likelihood of approval and the quality of protection you receive.
A patent agent is USPTO-registered and can file and prosecute patent applications, but cannot provide legal advice beyond the filing process — they cannot represent you in court, advise on infringement matters, or negotiate licensing agreements. A patent attorney holds a full law license in addition to their USPTO registration, providing the complete range of IP legal services from filing through enforcement.
