How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Prepare & File a Patent Application in Georgia

In 2026, a personal client in Georgia posted a project seeking assistance with preparing and filing a patent application. After having a U.S. non-provisional patent application completed by a different attorney, the client required an experienced professional to handle the PCT filing based on their existing application. They aimed to claim priority from the U.S. application, necessitating expertise in international patent prosecution. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $750 to $1,000, all submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of over a week.
