Your law firm bills you to think. We don't.

Painless Patenting® works like an in-house patent counsel for funded startups — without the cost of hiring one, and without the meter-running fees of a traditional law firm.

Here's the problem with the traditional model.

When you hire a big IP firm, a partner oversees an associate who does the actual writing. You pay premium rates for the drafting, 6-minute increments for every email and strategy call, and a separate bill for the filing itself. Go international, and it compounds: your U.S. firm drafts, coordinates with a foreign firm, and both sides bill you for every message, tweak, and filing fee along the way.

We replace the expensive 80% — the strategy and the drafting — with a fixed fee.
You still use a filing attorney in whichever country you choose. But the bulk of the work — the part that historically runs up the bill — is handled by our team at a predictable monthly cost. No surprise invoices for a phone call. No line items for "reviewed your email."

What you actually get:

→ A patentability search on every matter, so you know what's worth filing before you spend a dollar (most firms skip this — it costs them filing revenue)
→ Fixed-fee drafting and strategy, so calls and emails don't cost extra
→ Monthly portfolio reviews to make sure every pending application still matches the product you're actually building — because a 1:1 product-to-IP match is what makes a patent valuable at exit
→ A plan to kill filings that no longer fit, before they rack up Office Action fees (which can arrive 2–3 years after filing) or foreign maintenance bills
→ 99% USPTO allowance rate across 20+ years and a $23M+ portfolio track record

Most firms only call you when an Office Action lands. We call you every month — because our job isn't just to get you a patent. It's to make sure the patent is still worth having.

Funded, building, and tired of opening legal invoices? Let's talk.
