Starting with a patent for the idea of patenting every thought I have.
If you're serious, I'll handle it for you, on a flat fee even.
I'll do each application and 2 office actions for 20k. If an RCE is needed or examiner interview, that's another 1k, plus 3k per office action thereafter. Appeals are by the hour at 215 USD per hour, average is 15k per appeal.

Hmmm, a million plus for less than 50k. Hell ya.

Stupid, obvious patents are sold and traded around like candy and wind up in possession of companies whose sole purpose is to milk them for revenue. Hence one of the biggest problems with our patent system.
