Frequently Asked Questions

What does a patent attorney support staff actually do? 

They handle the research-heavy and documentation-intensive work that consumes attorney time — prior art searches, application drafting, claims preparation, office action responses, docket tracking, and portfolio reporting. This frees your licensed attorneys to focus on strategy, client counsel, and complex prosecution decisions.

What types of patent matters can Remote Attorneys support?

Our legal professionals support utility, design, and plant patent matters across a wide range of technology areas including mechanical, electrical, software, and biotech. We also assist with PCT filings, national phase entries, and IP due diligence for transactions.

How much does patent attorney support cost with Remote Attorneys?

Our remote legal professionals are billed on a flat monthly basis, starting at $19/hour — significantly less than the cost of hiring a full-time associate or paralegal. There are no long-term contracts, making it easy to scale up or down based on your firm's workload.

Are your legal professionals qualified to work on U.S. patent matters?

Our staff are trained by U.S. attorneys and have direct experience supporting U.S. patent law firms. They are not U.S.-licensed attorneys, but work under the supervision of your licensed attorneys — handling the substantive support work that makes your practice more efficient.

How quickly can a remote legal professional be integrated into our patent practice?

Most firms are up and running within a few days. Our staff are familiar with standard patent prosecution workflows, USPTO procedures, and common practice management tools, which minimizes onboarding time and gets them contributing to your docket quickly.

Can remote support staff handle technically complex patent areas?

Yes. We match your firm with legal professionals based on the specific technology domains your practice covers — whether that's semiconductor patents, pharmaceutical compositions, software algorithms, or mechanical engineering inventions.

What makes Remote Attorneys different from hiring a freelance patent paralegal?

Unlike freelancers, our staff are pre-vetted, trained specifically for U.S. law firm workflows, and available on a full-time dedicated basis. You get consistent, reliable support integrated into your team — not a one-off contractor managing multiple clients at once.
