Three common ways to buy legal work.
The same matter, bought three different ways. Here is what each one actually costs you in clarity.
Associate-heavy. Opaque hourly billing.
Your file is staffed down. You pay for someone to learn the science. Scope and cost stay unclear until the invoice arrives.
Fast forms. Thin technical fluency.
A template will not read a specification, an OTA, or a dual-use data-rights clause. Federal and scientific work is out of range.
Senior attention. Market-benchmarked flat-fee legal pricing.
Graduate science training. Federal and dual-use fluency. A written scope and attorney fee before work starts. Official fees at cost, listed separately.
How an engagement works.
Four steps. You know the scope and the attorney fee before any billable work begins.
Screen and map the matter
A 15-minute video call. Fit check only, no legal advice. We map your matter to one of the nine services, and to a catalog engagement under it — a prior art search, starter website pages, a vendor agreement review.
Scope, fee and engagement letter
You get what is included, what is not, the assumptions, and the attorney fee. Official fees are listed separately, at cost. Representation starts only once conflicts clear, the engagement letter is signed, and any retainer is received.
Intake and work
You send the technical disclosures, brand specimens, contracts or government documents listed on the product card. Drafting, search or analysis follows, including the round of substantive revisions the scope covers.
Delivery and next steps
Work product plus a short roadmap — file, prosecute, commercialize, or enforce — and any optional follow-on products.
What are you optimizing for?
Choose a goal. We will take you to the right service.
Not sure which of those goals is yours?
Answer eight plain-language questions about your invention, brand, or startup. You will get one recommended flat-fee starting point, what it typically covers, and the single biggest risk to watch — before you disclose, launch, or raise.
Educational only — not legal advice, and no attorney–client relationship.
Flagship engagements, priced up front.
Market-benchmarked flat-fee legal pricing. Attorney fees are scoped in advance against a written deliverable. Government and third-party fees are billed separately, at cost.
Patentability Search
Inventors who want a low-cost first look at patentability for a single invention.
Provisional Application
A streamlined provisional offering listed on the firm's website at a promotional rate.
Trademark Application
Streamlined trademark filings listed on the firm's website; tier chosen by mark/goods complexity and the level of attorney support.
Starter Website Pages
A lightweight version of the Website Legal Pages for pre-revenue or pre-launch sites.
Vendor Agreement Review
A focused attorney review of one vendor agreement with an issues memo and short markup.
Software / API Agreement Review
A focused attorney review of a vendor- or counterparty-supplied software or API agreement without active negotiation.
Fractional GC / IP Officer
A streamlined fractional GC / IP officer subscription.
Cease & Desist
A streamlined cease-and-desist letter for a narrow scope (e.g., obvious copy/paste copyright infringement or single-mark unauthorized use).
Final fee confirmed in the engagement letter. Figures on this page are illustrative. Flat fees may be split into milestones where the engagement letter allows.
See every legal productWritten work product. Scoped before we start.
A prior-art search and written patentability opinion
Not a verbal hunch. A written opinion you can put in front of an investor, a board, or a co-founder.
A provisional or non-provisional draft ready for USPTO filing
The application itself, plus the filing plan that says what happens next and when.
A website legal set or a marked-up vendor agreement
Terms of Use and a Privacy Notice, or a redlined agreement with an issues memo explaining what to push back on.
Why SciTech & IP Law.
Large firms staff IP work down to associates who learn your science on your invoice. This firm is built the other way round.
Law and lab in one head
A J.D. plus an M.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Georgetown — so the science does not have to be translated before the legal work can start.
The attorney on the call writes the claims
No handoff to an associate after the pitch. The caseload is capped on purpose so senior attention is actually available.
Federal and dual-use fluency
DoD, DOE, HHS and DHS work, CRADAs, SBIR/STTR, export control, and Stevenson-Wydler — instruments that do not standardize cleanly.
Market-benchmarked flat-fee legal pricing
Attorney fees set against a defined deliverable and checked against public competitor ranges and official USPTO, Copyright Office and WIPO fees. Official fees billed separately, at cost.
Don't just own your idea. Own the rights to it.
Industries we work in.
Technical fluency is what makes the legal work fast. These are the sectors where the science is already familiar.
What clients say after the work is done.
William is great and communicates effectively. William helped us ensure our product wasn't legally infringing on any similar products. Will certainly do work with again in the near future.
William does exceptional work, from research, verification to execution. Everything was accomplished on time with urgency and care. I look forward to working with William in the future.
William was very meticulous when drafting the patent application. He was patient and made sure he understood my idea fully. He also provided guidance for future steps after filing the provisional patent application.

What matters does the firm handle?
Federal IP and related technology matters under the nine services: patents, trademarks, tech and commercial contracts, commercialization and policy, gaming and media, fractional GC, federal and defense transactions, and pre-litigation disputes.
What does the firm not handle?
Texas state-law advice; courtroom litigation — matters are scoped to pre-litigation and then handed off to trial counsel; and general family, criminal, or personal-injury work.
What is market-benchmarked flat-fee legal pricing?
Attorney fees are published against a written scope and set with reference to public competitor ranges and official fees. Official fees are extra, at cost.
Are USPTO and other government fees included?
No, unless a specific engagement card says otherwise. They are billed separately and can change.
What happens if the facts change mid-matter?
The engagement letter and the product’s scope-change triggers control. New claims, extra classes, rush deadlines, or a contested turn reopen the fee.
Does a screening call create an attorney–client relationship?
No. The relationship starts only after a conflicts check, a signed engagement letter, and any required retainer.
Is the 15-minute call legal advice?
No. It is a fit and scoping conversation.
Will you guarantee a patent or trademark will issue?
No. Examining authorities are outside the firm’s control.
Find out whether the idea is protectable before you disclose it.
Most patent rights are lost by talking about the invention too early. A 15-minute screening call is usually enough to tell you where you stand.
