Dear Mr. Gordon,

The price is almost irrelevant. The big questions are is a patent crucial and who you can trust to prosecute the patent.

My understanding is that the scam artists and the conscionsless legitimate practioners and the trustworthy patent lawyers probably all charge about the same.

A rough figure is about a total of $8000 for a full procecution. I met one poor soul that paid a scam artist $8000 for a design patent. They are inexpensive and fast to obtain and give only picture book protection. Almosts any variation is not an infringement.
