Drafting from a disclosure

The whole application from the disclosure.
You sign it.

Claims with the dependent ladder, the specification, the abstract, the drawings, prior art with the IDS built, and the examination, from one disclosure in one pass. Delivered in Word and PDF in your own claim and specification format, with one revision round. You review, you revise, and it is filed under your name, for your client, at your fee.

$5,500 per non‑provisional · $995 per provisional · one revision round

Package · from one disclosure
01

Claims 3 independents

Method, apparatus and computer‑readable medium where the subject matter carries all three, each independent under 250 words, with five or six dependents apiece narrowing on a different axis.

02

Specification Every section

Cross‑reference, field, background without admissions, summary, brief description of the drawings, detailed description with antecedent basis for every claimed feature, and the abstract inside 150 words.

03

Drawings and the IDS Filed as is

Figures to 37 CFR 1.84 with the numerals reconciled to the text, and the references retrieved, read against the claims, and listed on a filled SB/08.

04

Examined before it leaves Included

The draft is examined under 101, 102, 103 and 112 before you see it, and the rejections it would draw are answered in the draft rather than left for the first action.

The price, and what it covers

One price for the application, whoever signs it

Patly drafts non‑provisionals at a flat $5,500 and provisionals at $995, with the same block rates on both sides of the business. It is the same application either way. What changes is the signature on it, and who carries the filing.

$5,500, counsel signs and we file

  • Claims, specification, abstract, drawings, prior art with the IDS, examination
  • Licensed patent counsel reviews and signs before anything is filed
  • Filed at the USPTO, docketed, and the correspondence handled
  • For a technology transfer office with no practitioner of its own. See the university product

$5,500, you sign and you file

  • The same claims, specification, abstract, drawings, IDS and examination
  • Your name on the filing, your client, and the $10,000 to $15,000 engagement stays yours
  • Delivered in your own claim and specification format, with one revision round
  • No signature and no filing from us, which is the point: yours is the one on the paper

Against the market the comparison is the same on both sides: $10,000 to $15,000 is what a firm bills to draft and file one non‑provisional, and this is $5,500 for the drafted application with the examination already run against it, so the margin on the matter stays with you.

How it works

One disclosure in, one application out

Start with an examination of something you have already drafted. It is the cheapest way to see whether the writing is worth your signature.

Send the disclosureThe inventor’s paper, preprint, thesis chapter, deck or disclosure form, and your own claims if you have them. A rough idea with a drawing on a napkin is a normal input.

Read the draftA working day later: claims, specification, abstract, drawings, the IDS, and the examination of the draft itself, in Word and PDF in your format.

Revise, sign, fileOne revision round is included. You change what you want changed, you sign, and it goes in under your name with the examination already answered.

$5,500 per package

for claims, specification, abstract, drawings, prior art with the IDS, the examination and the filing review, against the $10,000 to $15,000 a firm bills to draft and file one non‑provisional.

Who orders it

Practitioners with more disclosures than hours

Solos and small firms

A matter you would bill at $10,000 to $15,000 to draft and file arrives drafted, examined and reconciled for $5,500. You keep the client, the signature and the fee, and the hours you were going to spend on the first draft go to the claims instead.

Registered patent agents

Agents draft and prosecute without a firm behind them. The package supplies the drafting capacity a firm would, at a price that leaves a margin on a fixed‑fee engagement, and the work product arrives examined rather than raw.

In‑house counsel

The disclosures that never get drafted because outside counsel costs $10,000 to $15,000 each. At $5,500 the marginal filing is half that or less, and the examination tells you which of the queue is worth the filing fee before you spend it.

Pricing

Per application. Blocks bring it down.

Flat and published, like everything else on this side of the business. Provisionals are $995 at any volume.

Questions

Common questions

Is this the same price as the university filing?

Yes. $5,500 for a non-provisional and $995 for a provisional, with blocks of 12 or more at $5,250 each and 30 or more at $5,000, on either side of the business. It is the same application drafted by the same pipeline, so it carries the same price. What differs is who signs and files it: a university has no practitioner of its own, so licensed counsel reviews and signs before we file, and you sign under your own name and file it yourself. Against the $10,000 to $15,000 a firm bills to draft and file one, the difference is your margin.

What exactly comes back?

Claims with the dependent ladder, the specification with every section MPEP 608.01(a) expects, the abstract inside the 150-word limit of 37 CFR 1.72(b), the drawings to 37 CFR 1.84, prior art with the IDS built, the examination with its responses, and the filing review. In Word and PDF, in your own claim and specification format, with one revision round.

Who signs and files it?

You do, under your own registration number, in your own name, for your own client. Patly does not sign, does not file, does not appear on the papers, and does not enter into a relationship with your client. Ordering here creates no attorney-client relationship with Patly.

How long does one take?

A working day for the package, and minutes for the examination on its own. The long pole is your revision round, not the drafting.

What if the disclosure is a paper rather than a disclosure form?

That is the case the pipeline was built for. It was built to read published research, so a paper, a preprint, a thesis chapter or a deck is a normal input. Send what the inventor actually wrote.

Can I put my own claims in and have you write the rest?

Yes. Send the claims you want and the specification is written to support them, with the numerals, the figures and the abstract reconciled to them. The examination then runs against your claims rather than against ours.
