25% Off Our Professional Fees
Carson Patents offers a 25% discount on our professional fees for military veterans, active duty personnel, and their families. The discount applies to patent and trademark application services and post-grant services. It does not reduce USPTO filing fees or other government charges.
Our firm is led by Greg Carson, a U.S. Air Force veteran and USPTO-registered patent attorney. Tell us about your military connection during the consultation so the proposal reflects the applicable discount.
Patent Application Services
The discount applies across our five steps to patent:
- Prior art search: Investigate existing disclosures relevant to the invention.
- Patentability study: Assess the findings and possible protection.
- Application writing: Prepare the specification, claims, and drawings.
- Application filing: Submit the approved documents and applicable fees.
- Patent prosecution: Evaluate and respond to patent-office communications.
We can also discuss post-grant work and the scope of support your patent portfolio needs. Search results and professional assessments do not guarantee a patent will be granted.
Questions From Veteran and Active Duty Inventors
Discuss your invention and circumstances before choosing a filing route or paying for work.
Can Active Duty Personnel Patent an Invention?
Military service does not by itself prevent an inventor from seeking patent protection. An invention developed through official duties, government resources, or a government contract may raise ownership and reporting questions. Tell us about those circumstances before filing.
How Do I Start?
Schedule a free consultation and bring a clear description of the invention, available sketches, and information about any public disclosures or earlier filings. We discuss options and propose the work that fits your goals.
How Is the Discount Calculated?
The proposal applies the 25% discount to our professional fees. Government fees remain separate and depend on the filing and applicable entity status. Review our patent service fees and cost calculator for planning.
Can I File My Own Application?
Some applicants may represent themselves, while others must use a patent practitioner. Our Pro Se Help page explains assistance for eligible applicants who want to handle parts of the process themselves.
Trademark Registration Services
The same 25% discount applies to our trademark registration professional fees for veterans, active duty personnel, and their families. Government charges are excluded.
Our four steps to trademark cover searching, application preparation, filing, and responding during examination. We also discuss responses for existing applications and registration-maintenance work.
