Procedure and Costs for Patent Registration

Question

Good morning! We are a startup in the field of RC drones.

Since we are lacking legal background in our team, I would like to know more about the process of getting a patent on any technology we develop. I understand that we would have to get in touch with a patent attorney for that, but what exactly is the procedure? And how much time and money does the whole process cost?

While it may be beneficial to work with a patent attorney, that is not your only option. Patent agents can also represent you in front of the USPTO, and consultants with technical and intellectual property experience may be able to help you determine if your technology is patentable. The key is finding someone who understands your technology and can work well with you. While there are numerous factors that determine the time and cost required for each patent application, a well-developed patent portfolio could pay huge dividends in the future.
