USPTO official fees for a utility application are $2,000 for a large entity, $800 for a small entity, and $400 for a micro entity, covering filing, search, and examination. Attorney drafting is the larger cost and varies from a few thousand dollars on flat-fee services to $15,000 or more at traditional firms.
