>This is for the initial filing, and it won’t cover the cost of dealing with the rejections that almost every patent application receives. It’s also a serious underestimate—10k is more typical for the initial filing.
That's not right. That's $6,000 all in. Maybe software patents are more expensive.
>Almost every single provisional application I’ve seen filed without a lawyer’s input has been close to worthless. This is a false economy.
That's a bad sample then. A lay person can definitely file a good provisional patent application. They just need to describe the invention inside and out.
