Fearn combines patent expertise and staged pricing for startups deciding what to protect and how to build an IP portfolio.

## What it does

The public pricing page lists a $2,000 landscape stage and provisional work from $2,500, with one fixed fee per stage and no hourly billing. The homepage and customer stories frame speed and portfolio planning as the main benefit.

## Buyer and task

High-growth startups deciding what to protect and how to budget a first patent portfolio.

## Workflow boundaries

These are published service terms and company-selected stories, not legal advice or an independent assessment of patent quality.

## What I would ask

Ask which stage is appropriate for the invention, who provides legal judgment, and how scope changes affect the fixed fee.

## Why it fits

Fearn makes the patent decision legible as a sequence of paid stages rather than one opaque law-firm quote. Its public pricing page lists a $2,000 landscape, a $2,500 provisional stage, a $9,000 PCT stage with the provisional credited in full, a $7,500 US
