Pack prices above are in US dollars. The USPTO filing fee is extra, paid directly to the USPTO. Reduced fees depend on small or micro entity eligibility; check the current fee schedule before filing. Attorney review is separate and is not included.
Not legal advice; not a filing service. Patent Machine is a tool you operate. You write the draft and choose whether to self-file or have your own attorney review and file it. There is no guarantee of patentability, legal sufficiency or a granted patent.
Keep your idea private until it is filed. Do not put confidential invention details in public site chat. You may include them in AskRic email when clearly marked Confidential in the subject and body. Chat messages may be processed by AI services and logged. There is no legal privilege over your conversation.
Agents draft emails for your review and must not send or publish invention details without your explicit approval. Enquiry links open your email app; review your message before sending.
