Online Patents For Inventors

It may sound odd, but most patent applicants are not inventors. Rather, most patent applications come from large corporations. The USPTO categorizes applicant size as undiscounted, small, and micro. Most of my clients are individual inventors and small startups that are micro-entities.

To qualify as micro, the applicants must earn below ~$190,000 per year and have under four patent applications. If you exceed either of those thresholds but have fewer than 500 employees, you are a “small” entity. If you have over 500 employees, you are “undiscounted.”

7 in 10 patent applicants have over 500 employees

and amazingly

under 1 in 23 US patent applicants are micro-entities*

*USPTO FY2019 utility applications by entity type: micro 4.22%; small 25.82%, undiscounted 69.97%.

In other words, inventors are actually a special type of client. We specialize in empowering inventors in a system that is not designed for them.
