I would first have to review the related TM office actions to assess what work would be necessary, before I can decide whether to accept working for your case and before providing you with a flat fee. So my bid would vary depending upon the situation. I am not able to accept a contingency arrangement. Fred FREDERIC M. DOUGLAS Cal.

Using our pay-per-service litigation services we can file the answer per case for $299 US. Thereafter each service is priced per our pay-per-service retainer agreement.

Since an office action may not only involve an answer but may involve an appeal, a total price cannot be ascertained at this time. I would offer a price per office action of US$250. The above bid is subject to the foregoing statement and since the project is subject to responses from the USPTO, the time frame is unknown. I have successfully filed and prosecuted many TM applications and was admitted in 1961.
