Instead of sticking with a one-size-fits-all approach, we like to get to know you (our clients) individually. It’s more satisfying for us, and more cost effective for you.

You don’t want to pay for things you’re capable of doing yourself. We know that. That’s why our aim is to give you advice on your IP when you need it – and not interfere when you’ve got it covered.

If you are content to take on some procedural patent or trade mark work yourself, that’s fine with us. We’ll support you as you get to know the ropes. Equally, if you already have technical patent experience, we won’t waste your money drafting an application from scratch. We’ll help you finalise what you prepare instead.

We’re just as flexible when it comes to communications. Whether you want us to report back to you the moment there’s a new development, or carry out your instructions with as little interruption as possible, we’ll adapt our style of working to suit you.

For us, it’s all about saving you time and money, without reducing the quality of your IP.

Flexible billing

We’re happy to bill you in the conventional way, for time plus service charges. But if it suits you better, we’ll gladly discuss alternative fee arrangements, such as:

• fixed fees
• value billing
• success fees
• retainer arrangements, and even
• equity billing.

Feel free to ask us more about flexible billing for patent attorneys.

How much does an IP attorney cost?

As with most things, you get what you pay for when you engage the services of a trade mark or patent attorney. We don’t aim to be the cheapest patent attorneys, because – frankly – we don’t think that cheap patents make commercially useful patents. Instead, we aim to minimise your costs to give you excellent value for money.
