Pricing questions

Arcangel uses flat service fees instead of hourly billing. More answers are on the FAQ page. For USPTO fees by entity size, see provisional patent cost and how to file.

Can I file the patent myself instead of having Arcangel file?
Yes. After intake and a novelty review, you can self-file: Arcangel prepares the application and you submit it. That is $150 for a provisional or $1,000 for a non-provisional, plus USPTO fees.
Or choose attorney review. A licensed attorney reviews and files it. That is $400 for a provisional or $5,000 for a non-provisional, plus USPTO fees.
Who files with the USPTO?
On attorney review, a licensed attorney reviews the application and files it with the USPTO. On self-filing, Arcangel prepares the application and you submit it yourself.
We do not replace professional judgment where the law requires it. Attorney review is the path that includes that review.
How do you keep pricing predictable?
We use flat Arcangel service fees instead of hourly billing. Government fees are separate and shown before you pay.
Provisional patents are $150 self-filed or $400 with attorney review. Non-provisional patents, including utility, software, and appearance, are $1,000 self-filed or $5,000 with attorney review. Trademarks are $99 self-filed or $450 with attorney review. USPTO fees are added on top.
