IP SENTINELS CHARGING PRACTICE
We charge for our expertise and experience at a rate which we expect clients will find to be value for money.
This means we may not be the cheapest Patent & Trademark Attorneys, but the value our clients obtain from us more than justifies what we charge. Our client retention rate and client satisfaction verifies this to be the case.
We charge fixed fees for transactional types of tasks and time based fees for non-transactional types of tasks.
Transactional tasks are typically preparing standard documents and lodgements with IP Australia.
Non-Transactional tasks typically include drafting patent specifications, preparing submissions, considering documents and providing advice.
