Representation of the creative
applicant,
Under the 1883 Paris Convention
Treaty,
in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office
I) For the creative applicant, who has
filed an original patent application disclosing a
"simple" invention in a Paris Union Nation, other
than the United States, wherein the expiration of
the one year grace period for filing their United
States Application For Letters Patent is drawing
near.
1) To minimize their expenses, the
applicant should make the initial contact with the
Counseling the Creative® office at least 90-120
days before the US National Stage is to be
entered.
2a) If a Paris Union Application to be filed in the USPTO
is already written in the English language and drafted in the
equivalent of an International PCT format and the applicant does
not direct Mr. Pearce to make significant alterations to that
Paris Union Application, before filing it in the USPTO, Counseling
the Creative® requires at least a US$3000.00 retainer for
rendering this service, as well as all non-North American communication
expenses.
a) The professional charges by
Counseling the Creative® for the prosecution
of this type of Paris Union Application which
was originally filed in a jurisdiction other
than the United States will likely be higher
than those associated with the prosecution of a
United States Utility Application for Letters
Patent originally filed in the United States by
the Counseling the Creative® Office. This is
illustrated in our section describing
classifications of intellectual property rights
related to a US Utility Patent.

2b) If a Paris Union Application, not
already written in the English language, is to be
filed in the USPTO, the Counseling the
Creative® Office requires at least a US$4200.00
retainer to commence preparation of the United
States Application For Letters Patent.
Additionally, the applicant can also incur
translation as well as non-North American
communication expenses.
a) The professional charges by
Counseling the Creative® for the prosecution
of this type of Paris Union Application which
was originally filed in a jurisdiction other
than the United States will likely be higher
than those associated with the prosecution of a
United States Utility Application for Letters
Patent originally filed in the United States by
the Counseling the Creative® Office. This is
illustrated in our section describing
classifications of intellectual property rights
related to a US Utility Patent.
3) When the invention is not "simple",
the fees will be higher.
