Hello, Welcome to 1st Patents .com,

Your Online Resource for US Utility Patents and Design Patents, International Patents, and US Patent Searches

If you are interested in protecting your invention but not breaking the bank, you have come to the right place for US utility patents and design patents, international patents, and US patent searches.

I'm Don Meeker, a registered patent agent since 1978, currently located in New York City and Newport Beach, California. (That's me in the photo on the right dressed for some rare formal occasion. If I ever get a chance to meet you in person, I guarantee I won't be wearing that getup unless you are having a formal party to celebrate your success with your invention.) I specialize in US patents and design patents, international patents, and US patent searches.

I have an engineering degree and have created patents and performed patent searches in many diverse technologies including:

  • transportation
  • internet programs
  • construction equipment
  • building repair
  • heating equipment
  • cooking equipment
  • tools
  • medical equipment
  • safety equipment
  • electrical connectors
  • computer components
  • computer accessories
  • optical devices
  • rescue equipment
  • sports equipment
  • exercise equipment
  • furniture
  • plumbing
  • toys
  • games
  • and many others

Seeing new inventions is very interesting to me. If you can explain your invention, I can usually understand it and provide you with a thorough professional patent search and the broadest possible patent protection.

Special Offer for patents and patent searches

A complete professional patent search is performed including searching all related classes and subclasses including all years from the beginning of the patent system to the present, with a full search report and copies of related patents. (NOTE: other search services performing only word searches, including concept words, only go back to 1975 and if the same words are not used as someone has used in their patent, that patent will be missed.) Other patent firms charge at least $1200 to $2000 for a search and $8,000 to $16,000 for a patent application. But if you act now and are one of the next ten clients, you get:

  • Free patent search with your paid utility patent application (details)
  • Patent application special only $4,495 (details)
  • Free Consultation with Don Meeker (over 30 years of experience)

Low Overhead = Low Cost: I have been a registered patent agent for over 30 years and have written and prosecuted hundreds of patent applications successfully. My fees are low because I keep my overhead low. I work at home. I do not have to cover the cost of fancy law offices and large staffs. These savings are passed along to you.

The way the special works is that a $495 search fee is paid, the search performed, and the search results sent to you within a week. If the search turns out well and you wish me to proceed with the patent application, the $495 search fee is deducted from the patent fee of $4495 ($4495 - 495= $4000 balance). An advance of half the balance is paid ($2000), the patent application is written including the drawings and sent to you usually within three weeks. Any necessary changes are made and upon your approval of the application, the balance ($2000) and Filing Fees ($545) are paid and the patent application is filed. The status is then Patent Pending.

Chance to take action on your invention - You now have the opportunity to take action to protect your invention and get it into the market place before someone else beats you to it. Act now to move forward with your idea.
