At Mind Law FirmŽ, we offer a wide range of cost-effective intellectual property law services. Being a relatively small firm, we are able to keep our overhead costs low and pass those savings on to both our individual and corporate clients, resulting in the most reasonable prices possible without sacrificing the quality of work or amount of personal attention that we continue to provide. For some people, these prices may still seem a bit daunting; but rest assured that we strive to keep our fees on the low end of what you will find out there. Furthermore, if your ideas are truly unique and marketable, then your costs in obtaining protection should be money well spent. Your intellectual property was obviously worth creating; and if you feel it is worth protecting as well, then it is worth protecting properly. Otherwise, what's the point? With that said, the following fee schedule is representative of the fees charged for our typical services.
