Get matched, free
Free for inventors and applicants. A short, non-confidential description and contact details only. You compare and choose who to hire.
Tell us what you want to protect
What you've invented, named, or created, the kind of protection you think you need, and how to reach you. A short, non-confidential description and contact details only — never SSN, ITIN, financial accounts, or the secret details of your invention.
Get matched, free
We connect you with licensed patent attorneys, registered patent agents, and trademark attorneys who handle your type of work and can support your language, at no cost to you.
Compare flat-fee quotes
Ask each professional about their experience, the scope of the work, and their flat fee. Get the fee and what it covers in an engagement letter. The lowest number is not always the full picture.
You choose who to hire
You decide which professional to work with, if any. Confirm the flat fee and scope in writing before any work starts — and remember no honest professional guarantees a patent or a trademark.
The process
From idea to issued protection
Protecting an idea runs in clear, ordered steps. Here is the path most patents and trademarks follow — you stay in control the whole way.
