What are typical patent lawyer fees?

Patent lawyer fees are usually billed either hourly (commonly $300-$600/hour) or as a flat fee for the full drafting-through-filing engagement, with flat-fee models increasingly common as an alternative to open-ended billing. Total cost for drafting and filing a utility application generally lands between $5,000 and $15,000.
