Patentext Services

Expert patent practitioners. Flat-fee filing.

Patentext Services is a registered patent agency. Our practitioners draft, review, and file with the USPTO for a flat fee — no hourly rates or surprise invoices.

How it works

From strategy to filed patent

The Patentext platform and agency work together: you develop your invention in the software, and our practitioners turn it into a filed application.
