Pricing

Learn how Stake’s pricing works and what different types of IP filings cost.

No surprise legal bills.

Stake is committed to transparent pricing. We offer either flat fees or budgeted hours on many legal tasks, and a hybrid approach for those projects that require flexibility.

We operate using individual statements of work for phases of a legal matter. Before beginning work that would incur additional cost or alter an existing budget, we will submit a statement of work for your approval quoting the actual scope of work and costs. Government fees and other expenses (e.g., expert witnesses, customer surveys, travel) are additional.

We generally require deposits before beginning work.

The initial filing fees listed on this page are estimates given for example. Your Statement of Work will list the budget applicable to a given project or task.
