Frequently Asked Questions

What is PCT national phase entry?

A PCT application preserves patent rights across member countries for up to 30 months before a decision to enter national phase is required. Entering US national phase transforms that international filing into a live US application under USPTO examination.

How much does a US patent cost?

Utility patent prosecution typically runs several thousand dollars in attorney fees plus USPTO fees that vary with entity size. Small entity and micro entity discounts cut official fees meaningfully for independent inventors and small startups.

Where are patent disputes litigated for Virginia inventors?

Federal patent suits go to the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia — the “rocket docket” — in Alexandria. Appeals move to the Federal Circuit in Washington, DC.
