TOP FAQS

Please reach us at bjohnson@buchelaw.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How much money can I actually save by using AI and your review service?

Traditionally, a law firm might charge $7,500 to $15,000 for a single application. By doing the initial heavy lifting yourself with AI and using our review service, inventors often save 50% to 75% on the initial filing costs while still receiving professional attorney representation.

Why do I need an attorney if the AI says my invention is "novel"?

We believe that AI "novelty searches" are limited by their training data and often miss "non-obviousness" rejections—a common reason patents are denied. While people can represent themselves, an attorney with 18+ years of experience understands the nuances of how USPTO examiners think, which cannot be said about a layperson representing themselves and which a language model cannot replicate.

Can I apply for a patent on my own?

Yes, an inventor can file a patent application and represent themselves. The USPTO allows individual inventors to act ‘pro se,’ meaning you can prepare, file, and respond to Office Actions without hiring a patent attorney or agent. However, the patent process is complex and highly technical. Even the USPTO notes that lack of experience in drafting applications and claims can be a serious disadvantage and may result in weaker or invalid rights.

For that reason, we strongly recommend working with a registered patent attorney. A well-drafted patent can be a long‑term business asset; a poorly drafted one may be difficult or impossible to fix later. We sometimes joke that doing your own patent is a bit like trying to perform your own surgery: it might be technically possible, but having an experienced professional handle it is usually far less painful and far more effective in the long run.
