비용 가이드

Intellectual Property 전문가 비용은 얼마인가요?

IP attorney and consultant fees vary significantly by the type of IP protection needed. Patent work is the most expensive due to the technical and legal complexity involved. For most early-stage companies, a 1–2 hour IP strategy session to understand what to protect and in what order is the smartest first investment — before filing anything.
