A Different Way
Before you pay a lot of money to file a provisional or non-provisional patent, you need to be certain that it makes sense. Others will be happy to take your money even if it is ill advised. With Robert Brownstein & Associates (RB&A), you risk no more than $250 to get an answer to whether it makes sense or not.
If it does make sense, is it worth $8,000 to $15,000 to file one? Most of our patent filings average $2,500 all inclusive of search, drawings, specifications, filing documentation and electronic filing.
Is it a case of you get what you pay for? When a filed non-provisional patent is examined, 96 percent of the time, all claims are rejected. During prosecution (e.g. responding to those rejections), a patent practitioner has to think and act strategically. With over 14 years of patenting, and more than 300 patents filed, RB&A has managed to achieve over 95 percent allowance/issue success. The industry average is less than 50 percent. This is where the rubber meets the road.
Many RB&A clients are individual inventors and startup companies. In addition to patent expertise, RB&A offers product definition and marketing insight as a value-added option.

"Robert was incredibly professional, fluent in his field of expertise and liberal with sharing his time and knowledge. He made sure we were aligned on outcomes and expectations and then delivered on these." (Upwork client) "He did an excellent job handling my patent application. He expertly reviewed, fixed, and made all the necessary adjustments to ensure my application was fully compliant. His attention to detail and deep understanding of the process were evident, and he kept me informed every step of the way. The entire experience was smooth and stress-free thanks to his professionalism and expertise. I highly recommend for anyone needing reliable and knowledgeable patent services." (Upwork client) "Kind, competent, passionate about the project, and wonderful to work with.” (Upwork client) "Robert was highly diligent and communicated clearly about all aspects of the work. Highly recommend." (Upwork client) “Rob patented several inventions for me for three of my companies. He has a 100% success rate for me. I recommend him highly if you need to patent something. You will get amazing work and great personal service.” David Katz (on linkedin). “Rob did a great job enabling LitePoint's patent strategy. He provided an insightful approach to translating complex innovations into approved patents.” Brad Robbins (on linkedin). “I worked with Rob on patents for wireless technologies and testing methods. Rob helped prepare the patent filing documents for most of the patents we did at LitePoint. Rob has a good understanding of the technologies we were targeting and was able to prepare the documents based on a quick meeting to go over the idea (along with the form used to disclose the patent idea). Rob is easy to work with and can do most of the work independently and efficiently.” Christian Olgaard (on linkedin). “I have worked with Rob Brownstein since 2016 and he has filed more than a dozen applications on my behalf. I am very pleased with his work and dedication. His prosecution skills are second to none.” Adam Tannenbaum (on linkedin) “I first met Rob as my inside contact for a longstanding client designing and manufacturing testers for complex digital communications systems. Initially, patents were a new professional focus for Rob but his technical background and strong communication skills made him a quick study. In very short order he was vetting invention disclosures from the design teams and distilling the inventive and business critical features for patent protection. Later, during prosecution his insights and collaboration were invaluable in expediting the process and producing strong, defensible patents.” Mark Dalla Valle (on linkedin)
