Patent Infringement: Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing Statement

Term selection is strategic, and selecting too many is the most common mistake. Prepared by an MC Law attorney and reviewed before delivery.
Frequently asked questions
The fee covers the finished document, filing-ready or send-ready as applicable, the supporting exhibits or attachments described in the scope, and a short cover memorandum explaining the choices made. It is fixed at this scope: up to 12 disputed terms. 2 rounds of revisions are included. If your matter falls outside that scope we tell you before starting and quote the difference—we do not bill past a flat fee without agreeing it first.
2 to 3 weeks from a complete set of instructions, plus time for the 2 rounds of revisions included in the fee. If you are working to a court deadline or a closing date, tell us when you order and we will confirm in writing whether we can meet it before you commit.
$7,800 is $325/hour × 24 hours—the time this deliverable takes in an ordinary patent infringement matter, at the firm's standard rate. Because it is a flat fee, the risk of the work running long sits with the firm: you pay $7,800 whether it takes us the estimate or twice it.
2 rounds of revisions are included. You can add more when you order, or later, at $1,150 per additional round. A round is one consolidated set of your comments and our revised draft back to you.
Third-party costs are never inside a flat fee and are passed through at cost, never marked up: court and agency filing fees, court reporter and transcript charges, expert witness fees, search vendor and e-discovery hosting charges, process server fees, and travel.
A short description of the dispute and where it currently stands, the key documents, contracts, and correspondence, the parties involved and any deadlines already running, and the case caption and court, if a matter has been filed. Send what you have—if something is missing we will tell you what else we need before the turnaround clock starts.
