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?

Difficult to answer both questions - as for time, it depends upon the particular technology as to where it is examined in the USPTO because different areas of the Office have different backlogs - from filing to grant/issue, anywhere from 1-3 years. As for cost, different firms will charge different fees for preparing the application and it also depends upon the technology involved, the complexity of the invention, how many embodiments there are, and the like. You also have to include filing fees of the USPTO, issue fees, and maintenance fees.
