About Patent Attorney Cost

What is on this site

One question, "patent attorney cost uk", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.

• Patent attorney fees vs IPO fees: two separate bills: The Intellectual Property Office publishes fixed official fees. A patent attorney charges separately for drafting and prosecution. How to read a quote that mixes them.
• UK patent filing cost: the stages and what each one costs: Filing, search, examination, grant and renewal are separate stages with separate costs. The official IPO fees for each, the deadlines, and where attorney time goes.
• International patent cost: why territories multiply the bill: A UK patent gives no protection abroad. How PCT and national phase filings multiply official fees, local agents and translations, and how to stage the decisions.
• What a patent attorney does, and why it is not a solicitor: A patent attorney is a separate regulated profession with a technical background. What they do, when you need one, and what gov.uk says about free initial advice.

Patent Attorney Cost is an independent site operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd. We are not a firm of patent attorneys and we are not affiliated with the Intellectual Property Office, the Intellectual Property Regulation Board or any firm named here. We pass the details you submit to relevant patent attorney firms, who contact you directly; we may receive a fee from those firms, and you pay nothing for the introduction. Nothing on this site is legal or intellectual property advice. Official IPO fees are quoted exactly as published on gov.uk and checked on 14 August 2026; fees change, so verify current figures on gov.uk before budgeting. Patent attorney fees are not official fees and are not set by any body.
