What does a patent cost, in total, per type?

Costs vary sharply by type: a US provisional filing runs roughly $65 to $325 in USPTO fees alone, a full utility patent runs $2,000 to $20,000+ once attorney fees and prosecution are included, and a design filing is generally cheaper and faster to prosecute than a utility patent. The biggest cost driver in every jurisdiction is usually attorney drafting time, not the government fees.
