AdvisorFrequently asked questions
We begin with an introductory chat to discuss pricing and procedures, as well, to decide if we’re a good match for your invention. There is no fee for this call.
If you decide to move forward, you’ll then connect with a team attorney who has the most experience with your invention topic. During this exchange, we’ll learn more about your invention, answer any questions and begin the preliminary analysis for your strategy.
Upon Engagement, we’ll dive into the specific details of your invention and the Cognition team gets to work. We will reach out as needed for additional info, but our objective is to make the process easy for you.
We can typically file within 4-6 weeks of Engagement depending on response time and capacity.
There are no fees for standard calls or communication as this is built into our fixed-fee services.
Of course, from the moment you reach out, all calls are confidential.
You can get the process started with the ‘Get Started’ option at the top of the page.
Cognition IP has a dedicated technology team that works closely with our attorneys to develop best-in-class performance. Cognition IP’s online portal is used for case management, which reduces the administrative load for the legal team. Cognition IP also develops AI-enabled resources to help with patent search and template creation for more efficient patent drafting. All legal work is handled by Cognition IP’s team of expert patent attorneys.
Patenting can be a smart way to protect innovation and build business value. Patenting can also be unnecessarily expensive if handled without care. Our attorneys will help you evaluate the strategy which makes the most sense for your business objectives, with honest feedback.
In many cases, we can support the strategy and applications needed for international filings. In cases where we may need international partners, we have these in place, depending on territory.
