Whether you're an independent inventor with a question about the patent process, a startup founder weighing your IP options, or a patent attorney exploring our firm-tier plans — we'd love to hear from you. Real humans read every message.
Ways To Reach Us
Patent Pending Made Simple is built and supported by working patent attorneys and agents at Outlier Patent Attorneys. We help independent inventors, technical founders, and small firms file high-quality provisional patent applications using an AI-assisted drafting pipeline designed by licensed practitioners. If you have questions about the platform, pricing, attorney review, paralegal filing, or our team subscriptions for law firms, this is the right place to start a conversation.
Most messages get a response within one business day. For urgent filing deadlines, please mention "urgent" in your message and we will prioritize the reply. You can also explore our pricing page for self-serve plans, our podcast for in-depth episodes on patent strategy, or our blog for written guides on provisional applications, claims drafting, and patent prosecution.
We typically reply within one business day.
Before You Write
Yes — for full-service attorney work through our partner firm, Outlier Patent Attorneys, we offer a free 30-minute strategy call to scope your invention and discuss whether a provisional, non-provisional, or design patent makes the most sense. For platform questions, email is usually faster.
We recommend keeping initial messages high-level. Once we reply, we can route you to a secure intake — or directly to an attorney under an engagement — for any technical specifics that need protection.
Absolutely. We have monthly team plans starting at $699/mo, with seats, configurable AI prompts, and a team dashboard. Mention "team plan" in your message and we'll set up a walkthrough.
