What's the cost to patent an idea?

Turning an idea into a filed patent typically starts around $2,000 to $5,000 for a well-drafted priority filing (such as a US provisional or a first national application), or $10,000 to $20,000 for a full utility filing through prosecution, with European totals in a similar range. Costs vary by jurisdiction, invention complexity and whether drafting is done by a traditional firm or a flat-fee platform.
