To begin the process we strongly recommend letting us do a patent search, after signing a Confidentiality Agreement.   The two contracts are combined in a single document that we must exchange.  Click on the blue button to bring up the form.  Fill in the form and send it to us.  You can mail it, send it as an e-mail attachment, send in the body of email by clicking on "Edit-Select all-Copy-Mail-New Message-Paste", load it in the box on the Contact web page, or fax it.  If this is the first time you have requested a search, don't forget to to mail a check for $100, shortly after sending in the form.  The check should be made out to F. Rhett Brockington, with a note on the memo line referencing the search.   Allow 7 business days for the results.  If the search is urgent, we'll accommodate your needs.

Emailed patented will be sent as attachments.  They are stored in either pdf or cpc format.  CPC format is similar to TIFF or JPEG, except faster.  Download the program by clicking below.    There, of course, is no cost.

Exact figures will vary, but we encourage you to surf to sites that will publish their rates and compare those with ours published at  Services.   Click here for a start.  Of equal importance is the fact that you can also expect a much shorter turn around on searches.
